A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

You're being made obsolete by your own tool and you don't even realize it.
The only developers made obsolete by IDEs coming around were those who continued to code in
edIt's so far off being able to make software, it's smart but will never be that smart... Well if it does we're all done for.
It's a fantastic tool for getting a layout for your code however.
How far off is it from being able to make code well enough that your immediate manager, with basic coding skills, can just do it? Because that's going to happen to a lot of people and soon.
So there's two arguments happening here; one that ChatGPT is so good that it'll replace us, and one that it's terrible and has no usecase. The truth is somewhere in the middle (but I do look forwards to the day it's the latter)
I'm not saying that it's good enough to do that now.
But another thing to consider as well, what's the point in this whole society thing if we're not working towards... Not forcing future generations to work.
We already know there isn't going to be enough work for everyone, the problem isn't AI it's politics.
