No. next question.

It will cut down the amount needed and send many jobs overseas.

Of all endeavors coding is the one that seems ripe for AI automation, but that’s just my opinion.

Honestly co pilot has been great as a tool for scripts.

It’s not like hammers replaced builders.

It won’t replace ALL programers

Not while people think LLMs are AI.

Just because AI can spit code out, it still takes programming skills to see and fix it when it doesn’t do what you want it to. I’m taking a web development course that allowed us to use AI to help us on a lab project. ChatGPT struggled to give quality directions to set up a basic web server, but luckily I knew where the problems were located and fixed them.

lol. I don’t trust a damn thing Google says. Don’t be evil, my asshole.

AI could definitely change how programmers work but not really replace them. I worked on a few projects where AI tools like Copilot helped automate some coding tasks, but developers still had to verify and tweak the code. It’s more like augmenting our skills rather than replacing them. AI can handle routine stuff, freeing up time for us to tackle more complex problems. So, rather than being replaced, I think programmers are going to become even more central to innovating with AI.

not now but give it a few more years. I think when he said “existing programmers” gives it away that he doesn’t expect the job to be relevant enough to keep new programmers coming into the rabipdly depleting programming job market.

Not until they’ve scraped all the usefulness out of their stupid employees talents.

Given it couldn’t provide even the simplest code for a Word automation, we’re safe for now.

Yes. More and more tasks of a programmer’s routine will be replaced (or made easier and quicker) through AI so less programmers will be needed, that will result in some programmers being replaced. Those tasks will continue to grow as AI become better and the replacement will follow suit.

It already kinda has?
If programmers using AI are 30% more efficient, they can hire 30% less programmers.
And if it lowers the skill level required, then you can outsource more tasks to India.
And you can fill in the gaps with H1B visas.
So the combination of AI+outsourcing+h1b has decimated the market for tech jobs.
There’s also massive oversupply due to years of “just learn to code” rhetoric.

Someone need to fire this guy quickly. It’s similar bill gates saying no one will need more than 128mb of ram

This is actually difficult to do. There are still a lot of things that AI cannot do, and AI still needs people to do the right prompt so AI can perform properly. It is still a long run before AI get’s to replace people.

This quote is like the old adage: I have a nephew that can build a website! (don’t ask me why it was always a nephew, damned sexists running things)

Around 10 years ago there was a hype about drag n drop builders and non tech people thought that will make devs obsolete, because anyone can build a website or even an app with just a simple drag n drop editor. Boy that didn’t turn out well

Of course it will to a large degree.
