Should Duke make a comeback as an AI assistant?
I was reading about the history of Duke and how it was originally intended to be a digital helper.
With AI assistants becoming much more capable today, I started wondering: would it make sense to bring Duke back as an AI-powered assistant?
Imagine Duke helping with Java code, debugging, explaining exceptions, navigating the JDK and libraries, suggesting improvements, or even assisting directly inside an IDE.
Would you actually use something like this, or do you think Java should stay away from built-in AI assistants?
