  1. Even if Devin could do nothing else but read the documentation, read the code and submit pull requests for fixes to documentation, it would be great. Assuming it's cheap enough to use. The demo to read a blog post and repeat the same thing with ControlNet for about $750 is not a threat to any human developer.

  2. 4:00 There's a way to write accurate description of what you want the computer to do. That thing is called "source code". If you cannot write accurate description, then you need some kind of interpreter that can take your flakey description and ask smart questions about your needs to understand your needs correctly. And then generate the required source code. Right now, this kind of interpreter is called "programmer" or "developer". Devin promises to be replacement for this and it might work if it's a true AGI system. I'm not holding my breath.
