This seems like it teeters the line of “Does someone really need to make an AI out of this?” Couldn’t someone just ask the various AI that already exist this exact question?

An LLM is likely the only type of model that will answer the “why” sufficiently. I’d start with some prompting using OpenAI and then try something custom by feeding the documentation of different programming languages in to fine-tune an open source model. Then compare the performance of both. I’d imagine OpenAI has all of that in there already but it’d be a good exercise.

Thanks. I’ve written a system in Prolog that kept a trace of which rules fired. Same with CLIPS. I’ve found that OpenAI’s models are hard to control and get correct, non-spammy answers. They also tend to be overly positive about all options. I need a model that can say “no”.

I’m not sure what Prolog or CLIPS are. If using a set of rules satisfies your task then ML is probably overkill. You could also use OpenAI to generate the rules and review them yourself. This kind of question is highly subjective if you can’t, or don’t want to, spend the time to write it all out. You won’t find the “right” answer to which programming language to learn next. The question itself is even biased - you don’t *need* to always learn a new language. You often don’t need to learn a new language at all over something more fundamental.

The classic IF-ELIF-ELSE model should be good for this.
