I mean honestly… probably. Not yet. But soon. Right now, ai can make lies and shitty code, but it’s probably not that far from making ok code. So there is likely going to be a surge in need for highly skilled programmers that can fix trash ai code that is….. almost there.
Then we will have derivative code forever!!!
Bleeeeegggghhhhttththght
AI can't even tell how many Rs are in strawberry. I have seen the code AI makes, and it is not almost there. It is quite far away. Give AI 10 years, and it will be "almost there", and even then it will still be incredibly shit code.
Oh I know. I’m it companies will totally buy into it and then have shitty code that people need to fix. Or not, just have trash code in prod, who cares!
AGI is just two years away. Each year. Since a few years. Like self-driving cars
I think AI is still a long way from being able to manage a large project
Stable Fusion before AGI.
Guys fusion power is just 5 years away guys we're almost at breakeven bro just give us another billion venture capital dollars we just need some stronger magnets cmon we're so close dude just a little bit more
Oh definitely, but they are shoe horning it into everything! So the junior devs will have to ‘compete’ with a tool, that tool will output trash, senior devs will have to fix it
*then we'll have code that may or may not be ok and no more senior programmers to check it.
Yep! Heading to that route rapidly!
I don't agree. To me it is like trying to make water cleaner but mixing it with contaminated water.
If only you were execs! I don’t think this is a good thing. Far from, it will be a nightmare. But it will be cheaper than hiring new people, and then others will have to sort it out.
