Chris,
Apparently, ChatGPT 3 was trained on a large codebase, and in the reviews
I've watched, as well as in my own experience, it is amazingly astute at
generating (usually) working code in just about any language you can think
of, including assembly languages of various flavors.
Could it customize a DOS for a particular machine? Probably not in this
iteration, although my guess is that it may come reasonably close to a good
guide on what locations to patch, though it would still probably be
incomplete.
It's only as knowledgeable as the information on which it was trained, and
since in the case of ChatGPT 3 that is said to be The Internet, it
should have a sufficient knowledge to respond to an inquiry for such, or a
succession of inquiries (sometimes you have to coax it into giving you a
more complete, or a more detailed, or a more correct answer).
All told, amazing stuff.

question in my mind is can these AI appliances make guesses and are they
any good at it.
Anyway how hard would it be for an AI to rewrite a standard MS-DOS to suit
a particular machine? Have they reached the level of sophistication whereby
they can analyze code and rewrite sections?
