of what a computer can do. This is artificial intelligence, artificial emphasis. However,

artificial is okay when you're writing code. I need to understand a GPT-3 with a code

X program and a co-pilot program. Does this mean that the code writing that is done for

I marvel at the video games that are getting more and more detailed? Is that what a foundational

model can do to write code for those creators?

That's one of the things it can do. When GPT-3 was developed or trained, people expect

to do all things, having to do with language writing, sentiment analysis and all that stuff.

Then they discovered that this thing can also code. If I tell it, write me or program

me this website, it would spit out the necessary code for that. OpenAI, which created GPT-3

and Microsoft, which is a partner of OpenAI, they developed a retrained and more and

it turns out it can now really program well. Co-pilot and codex, which you can do, you can

sit down and with your voice, you can tell the computer, okay, program this webpage or

this game or whatever. It does it within seconds and these programs are actually pretty good.

What Microsoft told me is that the people who use co-pilot, at least in the most important
