  How Good Is AI at Coding, Really? Study finds that while AI can be great, it also struggles due to training limitations In collaboration with IEEE Xplore, this piece is a part of our unique IEEE Journal Watch series. It's a full circle moment: after decades of programming code for AI models, programmers are now using AI to write code. But what is the difference between a human coder and an AI code generator? A research assessing the functionality, complexity, and security of the code generated by OpenAI's ChatGPT was published in the IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering in June.   According to the results, ChatGPT's success rate in producing functional code varies greatly, ranging from as low as 0.66 percent to as high as 89 percent, depending on the task's complexity, the programming language, and a variety of other factors.   The investigation also reveals significant security issues with AI-generated code, even though in some circumstances the...
