AI complexity

Show all headers | View raw

  Based on the idea of Kolmogorov complexity, I'd like to suggest
  the term "AI complexity". The term isn't precisely defined since
  it really depends on both the user and the AI system, but by
  "AI complexity" of an algorithm, I basically mean the (textual or
  temporal) length of a prompt or conversation you'd need to write
  in order to get the chatbot to produce the code you want.

  This concept helps me understand myself better.

  I normally don't write code by hand; I have it generated.
  But for my current main project, I'm writing it myself, and
  honestly, I'm moving at a snail's pace. So I started wondering
  why I suddenly decided to write it on my own this time.

  I think the answer lies in what I assume to be the project's
  AI complexity. It just feels like it would take me so long to
  explain to the chatbot exactly what I need that, in this case,
  it probably makes more sense to just write it myself!
