OpenAI spent several years prior to ChatGPT getting AI to play Dota 2 well. They got some good results out of that, but it was a subset of the game: only a handful or two of characters. I’m not sure why they stopped; maybe that was when they pivoted to something more general?

Regardless, software dev I consider way more dimensional (eg nuanced) than Dota 2, even if a lot of patterns recur on a smaller scale in the code itself. If they weren’t able to crack Dota 2, why should I believe that software eng is just around the corner?



we don't think it's just around the corner
