The AI development company, OpenAI is hiring developers to help ChatGPT get better at coding

The AI research and development company, OpenAI is hiring developers to help ChatGPT get better at coding. According to information from Semafor, OpenAI is employing hundreds of contractors from all around the world to assist ChatGPT in becoming better programmers. The company is explicitly seeking computer programmers to produce training data that includes lines of code and explanations of the code in plain language.

Codex is an existing ChatGPT model from OpenAI that is specifically designed for converting natural language into code. The codex was educated using data taken from the Microsoft-owned coding repository GitHub before it was made public in 2021.

The fact that Microsoft uses Codex to run GitHub Copilot, a service that aids programmers in writing code, is sufficient.

However, a recent study suggests that by using ChatGPT's distinct capability for communication with people, coding assistance could be enhanced. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that OpenAI would increase its investment in this field by recruiting more contractors. The programmers' Q&A website Stack Overflow has nonetheless banned ChatGPT-generated responses since even its subpar responses can appear convincing.

According to Yann LeCun, chief AI scientist for Meta, researchers would need to create a system that is capable of foreseeing the effects of its actions and possessing "some sort of internal world model, a mental model of how the world is going to change as a consequence of its actions" to truly advance a coding assistant.

LeCun recently compared Copilot and other coding helpers to cruise control in automobiles. Your hands must always be on the steering wheel since Copilot can produce coding faults that are undetectable to the user.

"The question is how do we get from systems that generate e-code that sometimes runs and sometimes doesn't," LeCun explained. "And the answer is that none of those systems is capable of planning today; they are completely reactive."
