This week, OpenAI released GPT-40, a powerful model aiming to improve speech recognition and conversation capabilities. Testing its ability to perform code reviews, GPT-40 excelled in tasks like long multiplication, providing correct results without working through them. Code reviews are a crucial aspect in software development, focusing on engineering issues and offering valuable insights for developers.

Analyzing various code snippets, three different versions of a routine drawing diagonal lines in C# were reviewed. While the first example worked well, the second example utilized while loops and post-increments, leading to a less elegant solution. The third example, attempting to control the outer loop with the line position, produced incorrect results in some cases. GPT-40 provided feedback on the code, suggesting improvements in input validation, handling diagonal positions, and enhancing code readability.

In a demonstration of AI code review capabilities, GPT-40 analyzed the provided code, offering suggestions for improvements. The AI recognized the functionality of the code in generating diagonal lines for a box but highlighted areas for enhancement. Recommendations included validating input, adjusting line positions within box boundaries, and improving code readability through comments and better variable naming. The AI’s suggested code modifications aimed to enhance the code’s functionality and maintainability, showcasing the potential for AI in assisting developers with code reviews.
