you know, i wonder if that's the sort of person who makes a thread like this. it's probably really easy to train a language model on python, because every civ 4 modder, college student and grandmother has written mountains of python code. but i bet it's genuinely impossible to get good cobol training data since banks and governments use it.  naturally the language model people would prefer if big systems used python, because their system is built for python basically.  all that said, these goonies are barking up the wrong tree. you may as well get a language model to just crack open and replicate machine code since you want the human out of the loop. but the brainlets want to replace themselves long before they understand why they even bothered to learn a language in the first place.
