<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<ul>
<li>Drupal needs to prepare for <strong>new reality</strong>.</li>
<li>And reality is <strong>accelerating change</strong>. A lot of companies are now competing to release a lot of A.I. capabilities this year.</li>
<li>Drupal has bugs or features in the works, which could be solved faster using coming artificial intelligence capabilities, and so be on paar with other projects in accelerating world.</li>
<li>Drupal has a lot of potential in general, which could be achieved if rate of development be increased.</li>
<li>This also comes out of fear, that mainstream frameworks are more likely be favored by A.I., and so in accelerating world, Drupal can be left behind if this issue is not <strong>addressed on time</strong> (or before time comes).</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">How to achieve it?</h3>
<ol>
<li>Advertise this problem to Drupal core developers in order to come up with solutions.</li>
<li>Explore the current state of ChatGPT and Drupal. Here is a video demonstrating current OpenAI capabilities in the context of Drupal 10: <a href="https://youtube.com/watch?v=LWrQ7f67t5I">https://youtube.com/watch?v=LWrQ7f67t5I</a></li>
<li>Try to predict what features are coming next in GPT-4, in the software development industry and be in time to harness it for Drupal.</li>
<li>Drupal.org has a lot of historic data of bugs being solved (code, merges, change records, comments, documentation). OpenAI models can be fine tuned using Drupal's custom data. Documentation: <a href="https://beta.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning">https://beta.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning</a></li>
<li><strong>Find a path for a lot of drupal training data be included generally in next version of OpenAI's (or other company's models.)</strong></li>
</ol>
<h3 id="summary-vision">Future vision:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Drupal developers guide work of A.I., instead of writing or reviewing most of code/comments/documentation/tests/etc. themselves.</li>
<li>Drupal have implemented a lot of currently missing features (in the modules too).</li>
<li>Drupal have implemented new (otherwise unattainable) innovations (for example, having a lot of beautiful designs where drupal lack significantly at the moment).</li>
<li>Drupal saving a lot of development time, because of cool features and modules being already available.</li>
<li>Drupal is accessible to a lot more people to use, because it is cost effective to create all kinds websites and solutions (Drupal became better than wordpress).</li>
</ol>
<h4 id="summary-examples">I asked ChatGPT to generate ideas how it can be useful for us. The answer:</h4>
<pre>1. Code generation: Codex can be trained on Drupal codebase and can be used to generate new code snippets that conform to Drupal's coding standards.<br>2. Code review: Codex can be used to automatically review code changes and pull requests, providing feedback on code quality and best practices.<br>3. Bug triage: Codex can be used to analyze issue reports and provide suggestions for potential solutions, helping to prioritize and assign issues to the appropriate developers.<br>4. Documentation generation: Codex can be trained on Drupal's documentation and can be used to generate new documentation or update existing documentation.<br>5. Community engagement: Codex can be used to assist with community engagement by answering questions and providing support in forums and issue queues.<br>6. Test automation: Codex can be used to assist with test automation by generating test cases and test scenarios that can be used to test Drupal code.<br>7. Translation: Codex can be used to assist with translation by generating translations of documentation, code comments and other text.<br>8. Code search: Codex can be used to assist with searching through Drupal's codebase, making it easier to find relevant code snippets and examples.</pre><h4 id="summary-api-changes">More example ideas</h4>
<ol>
<li>Module rework from Drupal 7 to 8 was complicated. If A.I. existed, it could have reworked modules automatically from examples of human redesigned modules. Possibly many modules still exist that never landed. "<code>A.I. please take this Drupal 7 module, and redesign it for Drupal 11.</code>"</li>
<li>Drupal has a lot of duplicating modules. So A.I. can be given a task "<code>Please merge features of these 5 modules. Make it similar architecture to how Views module is designed</code>". </li>
<li>"<code>A.I. please take this beautiful Wordpress theme, and make a Drupal one out of it</code>" (A.I. is good rewriting code between languages, so it will be good rewriting theme code between frameworks)</li>
