Is Code Generation with AI the New Programmer Tool of Choice?

Thanks to advances in generative AI for coding, programmers can get help with creating net-new code, debugging assistance, and more. AI code generation also opens the door to non-programmers to create code and scripts with plain language prompts, thanks to natural language processing and deep learning. In this video, Martin Keen explains that whether it's creating new applications, modernizing legacy code, or translating between languages, generative AI can step in as a helpful coding assistant.

Thanks again Martin. Very informative as always.

Martin is so damn good at explaining things. I could watch this guy all day.

Off topic of this talk, I'm very excited for the new Fortinet cyber security class available on IBM SkillsBuild. Thank you 🤠👍

Super interesting to srart to understand what can be done with ai

[antonyrichard]

Great start for beginners like me .. Thanks for the video ..

Legacy modernation and migration has been my stock-in-trade for last decade or more. I like the sound in theory, but I remain sceptical. Working on systems with millions of lines of legacy makes you like that. Interesting idea though. You still need to understand what the code was doing and what the new code is supposed to do.

Good information. Thanks. Keep it Open Source !

We need an AI, that breaks down prompts into editable categories, which then can be modified to the users specifications depending how specific certain areas would need to be, and finally processed into not just a general idea of the code the user wants.. but rather, into actually impressive and well versed error free code.

Great job again! Just on a side note: maybe it's just me, but there seems to be a slight delay between audio and video (the audio lags behind the video a fraction of a second, the lip movement seems slightly off).

LOL IBM turning it's back on COBOL. Wasn't that they're moneymaker for a long time? COBOL running on their huge mainframes?

I'm just looking for a good AI script programming program. I don't want to know how the wheels works. You keep saying what IT can do without saying what IT is or where IT is.

[morrazzo]

I honestly genuinely feel for those who spent years to learn code and worked their ass off to get the output 😢

[voltydequa]

Yes yes yes — as if having a database of receipts, compiled by humans, pattern match on them, and finally pattern substitution presented as "generative AI".
From creative engine to hot-air selling.

I know why he "writes with his left".

YouTubers please state pricing plans up front. If I don't hear a price in the first few minutes I am out of here.

"Freeing up programmers to do higher value task." If programmers are no longer gonna write code, they should get a new name!

[connectionism]

Make no sense the code should be reversed by actual human, the AI should learn to correct the code by itself, until it is ready to push it live, also by itself
