What is GenAI good for?

Abstract

The aim of this project is to study whether we can determine of there are certain tasks for which GenAI is more suitable than others. As such, it will involve coding and execution of "lab experiments", and focus less on the deliverable of a software product.

Description https://project.cs.ucc.ie/project/1512

GenAI is an extremely class of technology, that is being used for all sorts of activities, including tasks within the software development process. For which tasks it is more suitable remains unclear; it is unclear whether it can be used "safely" for some tasks; does it generate nonsense? This project focuses on conducing a series of experiments to see if we can identify any "boundaries": for what kind of tasks might GenAI be more useful than others?
