Coding is totally obselete, bro. AI can totally write all the code, trust me bro. You just gotta know how to tell it what code to write, like learn some keywords and stuff, bro. Like, as long as you check how it produces looping mechanisms and tell it when it should use polymorphism and stuff, it’ll totally do all the work bro. You don’t need to know how to code, just the right sequence of keywords and commands so the AI can write all the code.
Someone has pointed out it would be lot easier for AI to replace a CEO then a developer.
The idea of LLMs putting coders out of work at a large scale seems inherently self-defeating.
The LLMs needed to ingest a massive volume of code to get to their current level of proficiency. What will happen if they put all the coders out of work and Stack Overflow is down to just a small number of hobbyists? Will the LLMs just stop advancing?
I’m sure Sam Altman would say they are just about to have reasoning capabilities that will allow them to improve. But Sam Altman is not credible.
It’s sadly already happening in regards to stack.
I can explain this chart: SO and AI both give me questionably useful example code, but AI isn’t as much of an asshole about it as the average SO user.
Outdated and no source…
ok then.
all developers should quit their jobs now. like right now. also, don’t bother with foss anymore. AI can generate it all by itself. all foss projects should close all their public repos entirely. no more public code repos, no more software development.
everybody go home, AI has it covered. we can just get new more fulfilling jobs in farming, logging, or construction.
bye greedy AI fuck-sticks. We’ll be back when you assholes snap your AI neck trying to suck your own dicks.
I installed Manjaro on one of my computers and I wanted to see, if ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Mistral where useful in eliminating some quirks you always encounter after a fresh install. So I asked them whenever I stumbled upon an issue how I could solve that issue.
None, I’d like to emphasise this: NONE of their tips was helpful.
And Mr Masad wants me to believe AIs would be able to program whole applications within a year?
MUAHAHAHA
Listening to this guy talk shit is a waste of time
AI won’t code everything by next year, blnot inn5 years either as it requires understanding context and actual reasoning which AI doesn’t have and won’t have for a long time to come, but the day that AI can code itself is the day that humanity is done for
AI is probably going to transform how code is written, but I don’t think AI will fully replace programmers. At least not in the foreseeable future.
Most of a programmer’s work is maintaining existing code. This is something current AI models still struggle with.
I don’t give a shit. I code because it’s fun.
Who is this guy? Some CEO ? Isn’t it more cost effective to replace him with ai?
What’s weird is he’s the ceo of replit.
Replit’s product is a website where you can write a snippet of code and run it without having to install anything. An activity that human developers would do to test out something.
So if his prediction comes true, his product will lose all value.
Maybe his expectation is that companies will buy his product because people will have to feed the AI-generated code into it to test it, instead of having humans manually review everything. Basically telling people to create a problem so he can sell his solution.
There is no AI products to replace CEOs, currently?
Even the simpler AI models can simulate ‘management’.
What we don’t have is AI’s that simulate your everyday asshole bosses.
What we don’t have either is AI’s that simulate fair, decent, smart, and empathic bosses.
Until AI can sexually assault their workers, can it really be said they’re qualified for the position?
Literally any chatbot, probably
(You don’t need ai for that)
Like AI generated stories or art you’re going to need someone to edit them.
Writing code is easier than understanding and reviewing another’s code. There is good reason code reviewers aren’t the interns and new hires.
My question to others is, why would you want to turn into a code reviewer for AI code? It’s a shitload harder. And if the goal is anything but a weekend project, you damn well better be understanding and reviewing it critically, otherwise one is shitting up the code base and forcing others to clean up your mess.
Because shit for brains says we just need to train our AI models until they’re sentient. So that means we need all our workers reviewing the output of AI as much as possible until that happens.
As a coder, the majority of my job isn’t writing code. It’s translating the bullshit management says and the broken specs we’re given into what they both actually want, not what they said. There is never going to be an AI that fixes that
There is never going to be an AI that fixes that
Don’t be so negative. Of course AI, if sufficiently trusted, could fix the existence of the human race and by extension the existence of bullshit management.
We will find out just how good AI is with coding in a few months when it replaces the SSA’s, mostly, COBOL based system.
My guess? Catastrophic.
And instead of going back, they’ll say some kid deleted the old stuff after copying it into the new system.
Of course they will delete the old system entirely. Saving it would just be wasteful, and intelligent.
Waiting for AI to take over CEO positions because they do nothing and you can replace them with a series of shell scripts.
That’s a more viable solution than replacing most software engineers, honestly.
Lol, yeah. Keep paying us developers to write that philosopher stone. For writing general AI my rate is 100x because it’s magic you can’t understand without being able to write code.
