Summary: Researchers in a new study tasked an AI-powered tech company (nicknamed "ChatDev") with developing 70 different programs. They found AI could develop software in under seven minutes for less than $1 in costs, on average. AI bots were assigned roles and were able to talk, make logical decisions, and troubleshoot bugs.
I don't want to undermine the work of the researchers because they did a good one with a solid protocol.
But the problem to me is the specification, basically one of the tasks was : "design a basic Gomoku game".
Which implies a set of pre-existing rules, something already known and well documented on the web.
For example on github you can find 1.2k repos in python with the tag 'Gomoku'.
In a company you will be less likely asked to code a Gomoku from scratch, maybe for an interview, at most.
So in my POV, it's just code synthesis from already existing stuff. And reviewed.
