Automatic programming by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
We use the term "automatic programming" to mean "generating code from natural language".
The ultimate high level of which is of course to program with:
computer, make money
which is basically the goal of artificial general intelligence, especially according to The Employment Test definition of AGI.
The term has not always had that sense:
automatic programming has always been a euphemism for programming in a higher-level language than was then available to the programmer
sums it up.
But in the current AI boom, this is the sense that matters, so that's what we will go with.
