I've seen this movie before it was the Firestone tire issue about 30
years ago.

We are worried about AI learning to do programming and taking over
programming jobs.
Modern AI doesn't produce code, it makes writing a lot of code unnecessary.
It may not be that programmers become obsolete but that coding as we know
it now becomes obsolete.

Try copilot and see all the wonderful ways you've never thought of to make
terrible code even if it passes tests. Programming the AI to write ok code
is harder than writing the code right now.
I'm all for the AI stuff. It's great as a convenient method to google,
etc. And codefill is... eh. If
I'm saying it doesn't write code. It doesn't have to.
Business wants results with minimally acceptable quality. You build the
AI. You train the AI. You get minimally acceptable results. You tinker
with the AI if desired.
But the AI does not deliver code. It delivers useful results within

I think the scripters are vulnerable, however the compSci folks will be

I don't think AI can completely replace programmers. I see it as a tool.
Nothing more (at least at this time). It's going to be extremely lacking in
any context on what the job entails. A manager can't simply go in and type

Yeah given where these things are with put-one-word-after-another LLM's and
image generators, I don't see it as being too taxing to make an AI which
could generate passable static web sites for mom n' pop restaurants. Make

My experience so far is … ChatGPT is great if treated like I’ve got access to
an intern to help with grunt work.
The quality is about the same, it’s a lot faster than an intern would take, and
it doesn’t complain if you tell it to try a different approach.
If you just hit the ‘regenerate’ butto
When I'm actually an expert at the thing I ask chatGPT for, yeah, like an
intern. It'll say something that will prompt me to go down some road or
other, and I ignore the obviously wrong answers. When I'm an amateur at
the thing, it sounds authoritative and I don't have the ability to know
better.
This is a DANGER ZONE that should be avoided right now, IMHO.
Look at the world today: we have this political system that has gone haywire
and media outlets that hand anybody a microphone and five minutes to spout off
anything they want without fact-checking it or even taking any responsibility
