But in case they succeed the return on image will be astonishing.
replyCan you expand upon this?
replyA full implementation/rewrite of something like word, which is pretty complex and the quantity of edge cases is insane, in a relatively short amount of time, months, is very hard.
replyIf they succeed with AI it will be huge: it's basically not possible to do it today with humans, no matter how many people you put on the job.
I would agree a full rewrite of word which is very complex and take quite a bit of time.
replyIt would be impressive of AI to make a 80% rewrite, though I fully doubt it would cover the 100% rewrite (disregarding long term support as well).
Why do you think it’s impossible for humans to rewrite word, especially even humans made it in the first place?
I mean, aside from all the NP Hard sub problems (I might not be reading your satire though), the real hard problem is that a "product" is not just software, but an ecosystem and a promise of maintenance of the abstract user experience & quality of it.
replyAI is especially good at ports like this where there’s a known and well tested surface area.
reply*that only microsoft has access to.
replyThese guys puposely obscure controls and understanding of these products 100% to prevent you doing a port.
Just go open a microsoft word doc in the browser and look at the dom.
Despair! Horror!
Especially when there are three different versions, and each has a different team, and they all can work together at the same time. Crazy amount of tech supporting it that breaks a humans context let alone a models context.
reply"ports like this" skips the part about Microsoft/enterprise software having a known and well tested surface area, the few examples we've seen are exceptional cases I suspect
