When ChatGPT first appeared we asked it to produce code for the Moog ladder filter and it gave us something very different to what we were expecting, that worked well. Actually ran a few instructions faster than our existing solution. We googled like mad
to see where it had copied it from but couldn't find anything.</div>

<b>Subject:</b> [sdiy] AI code generation</font>

<div>Hey everyone,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Touchy subject that I need to talk about. I just had Claude AI generate a CSound program for a complex effect. Not only did it hit all the points I gave it, but it even included some stuff I forgot, like a sound source, but also gave me a few ideas on
how to operate it. And it took less than 15 minutes to do.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know a lot of you will rebel against the idea of AI. I was one of you. But this experience has opened my eyes to the possibilities. This piece of code would have taken me hours to develop. Claude did it in a fraction of the time. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My buddy got me into this by telling me his experience. He took a code base for a 2007 synth and had Claude make changes and add features. Claude even found bugs and fixed them without prompting. The new code is working and is being tested. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is a brave new world. Should we feel sorry for the coders?</div>
