The folks at CNX have already implemented AI as their "Valence Assistant" in their Low-Code App Builder.
Works pretty good for helping with SQL data sources, suggesting the layout of forms, and helping with JavaScript formatting.
I like the way it's implemented - as a tool for you to use, not a replacement for your skills.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] How has/will AI impacted the RPGLE community?
Hello, everyone,
Just attended the IBM AI Strategy and Update webinar and thought I might stimulate some discussion.
Seems like a year ago or so when I attended a webinar of a software vendor who introduced how they were integrating AI into their product.
The demonstration included use of ChatGPT (I think) in which the tool was told that it understood RPGLE code and a request was made of the tool to write an RPGLE procedure to perform some minimal mathematic function. It responded with a clean RPGLE procedure to do that, and it was compiled and tested. Then the RPGLE source was modified to be incorrect and the tool was asked to verify the function source code was correct. The tool found the mistake and pointed out the source code error and suggested a correction.
I was impressed.
Now I'm wondering if ChatGPT has been improved enough to do something like:
Given source code for a simple RPGLE green screen entry panel, convert that code to Visual Basic.
It's exciting to see the direction IBM is going, based on today's webinar, but I'm wondering how we might be eventually impacted by these developments?
Any thoughts, opinions? Anybody seen ChatGPT convert RPGLE to VB?
Kind Regards,
Thomas Garvey
