They found AI could develop software in under 7 minutes for less than $1 in costs, on average.
The findings come after researchers published another study in which AI agents powered by large language models were able to run a virtual town on their own.
Once the researchers gave the AI bots their roles, each bot was allocated to their respective stages.
"Our experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the automated software development process driven by CHATDEV," the researchers wrote in the paper.
Nevertheless, the study isn't perfect: Researchers identified limitations, such as errors and biases in the language models, that could cause issues in the creation of software.
