Over the weekend, curious to know how well it’ll do, I asked ChatGPT to generate some code in UCL, the toy language I sometimes write about here. I asked it to product a script that would print out the Fibonacci sequence up to a given value. It didn’t do too well, producing a script which looked like a strange hybrid between TCL and shell.

This was somewhat expected. What wasn’t expected was to see UCL pop up as a topic within Pulse the next day:

Auto-generated description: A digital interface displays two sections: one describing a Fibonacci demo project and another about assembling a UCL example suite, both accompanied by illustrative images.

Very amusing.
