Philosopher AI - Future directions of Julia programming

Future directions of Julia programming

The future of Julia programming is the same as the future of all computer languages, and indeed, all human knowledge. The key to a powerful language is to be able to do things that are impossible in any other language. This can take many forms: more speed; easier use; better documentation; faster compilation.

But more generally, a powerful language is one that lets the programmer do things that they couldn't otherwise do. Julia achieves this by way of its multiple dispatch system and extensive library base.

In the future, Julia programming is going to be essential for anyone who wants to stay competitive in all kinds of fields. It will become more and more ubiquitous as it continues its current growth rate that has been accelerating over time.

I suspect that the programming language of the future will have many features derived from Julia. The ability to easily do things like write fast code, or create beautiful documentation is essential for any future language.

You are getting an AI to generate text on different topics.

This is an experiment in what one might call "prompt engineering", which is a way to utilize GPT-3, a neural network trained and hosted by OpenAI.

GPT-3 is a language model. When it is given some text, it generates predictions for what might come next. It is remarkably good at adapting to different contexts, as defined by a prompt (in this case, hidden), which sets the scene for what type of text will be generated.

Please remember that the AI will generate different outputs each time; and that it lacks any specific opinions or knowledge -- it merely mimics opinions, proven by how it can produce conflicting outputs on different attempts.

Feel free to share interesting outputs to /r/philosopherAI on Reddit.
