With just a tiny sed find-and-replace (possibly generated by GPT) this sounds exactly like:

What Assembly developers said about C; What C developers said about Java; What Java developers said about Python;

It's interesting though, this cycle can't keep going perpetually. We're already within striking distance of translating natural language into code; lots of us incorporate it into our workflows already. Of course, natural language doesn't ever completely translate into code without leaving an enormous trail of ambiguities in its wake. But I find this process of iteratively "sculpting" the generative model's output totally riveting. The other day I plugged my ChatGPT plugin into the GPT-4 backend for the first time. I don't know how popular HBO's Westworld is in these parts, but I thought of it instantly because the coding session I found myself immersed in was shockingly close to the dialogic narrative-rendering computer Dolores uses to make deadly, immersive entertainment.
