Comment by Minthos on Do we need a high-level programming language for AI and what it could be? · 2019-03-06T21:32:27.411Z · LW · GW

I think it could be beneficial to have a simple and unambiguous pseudo-English for communicating with AI. Identify the most important use cases for the language and define sentence templates to cover those use cases. If something can be expressed using one of those templates, that should be the only correct way to express it. Have a compiler that verifies correctness, warns of common problems, suggests improvements, maybe even translates to/from English. Build an AI around the same use cases. It won't be truly general but maybe close enough to be useful until we get real AGI.

Whether it's worth the effort to do it or just an interesting idea is not something I'm qualified to answer.
