So now we have computers writing programs for computers. What could go wrong?

It could probably write an emulator itself 10 years later. It can’t write a program yet, not even a shader properly. Perhaps the next step is it writes an emulator and the emulator has AI and writes it’s own games lol.
Lots of things could go wrong

Wow! What a positive take on the possible impending rise of the machines.
We’re not to far from 2029 you know.

Probably in 10 years or 20, you’ll say write a Sega Saturn emulator. In 10 minutes it’s ready, then ask it write a Metal Gear Solid port. In 20 minutes you’ll be playing MGS on your new Saturn AI emulator.
It will replace most jobs in the planet easily after they make some robots with advanced AI. Later on it could decide humans deplete the planet resources and have to be restricted lol. This is funny but true all the same

It’s definitely a useful tool and there huge’s potential. Still, some of the current unreliability makes me laugh, if not wary.
The other day, I was asking about old PC sound cards, and buried in a mountain of info I was told about a PC re-release of the Last Ninja that featured Gravis Ultrasound. I’m like “Wow, I never heard about that, where did you get that from?”
AI: : Oh, it turns out there is no evidence for it at all.

It’s more like YOU teaching it, e.g. it gave me wrong ntsc phase and after i noted it, it came back with a more correct answer. It has half knowledge or some times maybe even drag you in the wrong path. There is also a lot of false information like it will say Crash Team Racing was one of the best Saturn racing games.

That’s true, e.g. I was curious what It would say about aspect ratios of old systems, explicitely noting that I’m refering to the active area, so borders are accounted for. Default answers were still something about filling the 4:3 screen, so ratios are 1.33, which is of course nonsense. So then entering more info: PAL or NTSC screen, take dot clock into account, whatever.
