Since this is on arxiv one presumes it's not been peer reviewed yet, right? Is there a way to leave comments? There are a couple of confusing language/grammar mistakes including some in the first sentence.
> When human programmers have mastered a programming language, it would be easier when they learn a new programming language.
I think they're saying "When human programmers have mastered a programming language, it makes it easier for them to learn a new programming language", but... I'm not entirely sure.
"It would be easier to learn a programming language, when you have mastered any other programming language" is clear, IMHO, but flipping the clauses makes it less clear.
"ChatGPT, please translate my incoherent stream of consciousness into clear English"
then review its output like one would a rough draft, and repeat as needed.
As far as human languages go, yes English is at least B-tier difficulty. Not least of which due to having the largest working vocabulary on Earth. But for all of the problems that LLMs might have with object permanence and memory and such, I think it's pretty safe to say that GPT3+ has mastered both the commonly used vocabulary and even the most subtle turns of grammar in the English Language. Which is never going to not dumbfound me. O_O
there's so much hype, ungrounded research "findings", and next-big-thing libraries (remember langchain?)
LLMs, at least the ones companies use, are APIs all the way down. Stay away from anything or anyone who claims they've discovered something no one else knew about LLMs.

Really does seem like it. So many interesting little projects that end up being nothing more than a hidden prompt and an api call to OpenAI
