Prompt in progress: GenAI text-to-code tools boost productivity

Software developers are increasingly using generative AI text-to-code tools like IBM Codenet, GitHub CoPilot, Code Whisperer, and StarCoder to boost their productivity. These tools can generate code from text prompts, check code quality, and reviews across various programming languages. Interest in these tools is growing, as seen with the rise in searches for GitHub CoPilot. However, adoption by IT companies is still at an experimental stage due to concerns about code correctness and security. While these tools offer advantages in terms of speed and efficiency, developers still need to validate the generated code and be wary of potential downsides, such as introducing errors and vulnerabilities.
