Using AI to produce ObjectScript code

#Caché #InterSystems IRIS

I ask ChatGPT periodically to produce ObjectScript or plain MUMPS code for string manipulation, or for implementing known algorithms etc. Occasionally, it does make mistakes or uses non-existing class members but generally not that bad. Is there any tutorial on the subject of using AI for coding, ideally specifically for ObjectScript/MUMPS? Any AI productivity advice, or tricks you are using, or another AI flavor?

Thanks in advance,
Anna

I did not try it myself, but I talked to other people and searched more, and it seems that using VS Code (as opposed to Iris/Cache Studio) combined with Copilot is currently the best available way of incorporating AI into ObjectScript/MUMPS coding: Coding InterSystems ObjectScript with AI Copilot. @Evgeny Shvarov, would you agree? Would you like to add anything on the discussion subject?

Hi @Anna Golitsyna ! I appreciate you watched the video. Indeed it (AI Copilot) is not that bad sometimes especially in simple cases and sometimes can even surprise like "reading thoughts" what to put next so VSCode+Copilot could be more effective in coding ObjectScript vs just Studio and occasional copy-paste from ChatGPT.

But I agree with @Dmitry Maslennikov that the very fact that AI can "talk" ObjectScript/Mumps is mostly because of Open Exchange initiative and its impact on Github.com, where ObjectScript is listed as a recognizable language (thanks again to @Dmitry Maslennikov to his impact to it about 10 years ago).
