AI Coding Assistants Emerge on macOS
ChatGPT, OpenAI's AI-powered chatbot platform, can now directly edit code — if you're on macOS, that is. The newest version of the ChatGPT app for macOS can take action to edit code in supported developer tools, including Xcode, VS Code, and JetBrains. Users can optionally turn on an “auto-apply” mode so ChatGPT can make edits without the need for additional clicks.
- As AI-powered coding assistants like ChatGPT become increasingly sophisticated, it raises questions about the future of human roles in software development and whether these tools will augment or replace traditional developers.
- How will the widespread adoption of AI coding assistants impact the industry's approach to bug fixing, security, and intellectual property rights in the context of open-source codebases?
