OpenAI's ChatGPT can generate working or nearly working MATLAB code in response to 'plain English' prompts, and translate mathematics into code as well as translate between natural languages. [1]. Recently Google's Bard is available on a trial basis [2] and comparisons of their code generation capabilities are possible. This script provides some illustrations of ChatGPT and Bard responses to prompts for some simple MATLAB codes.
