They quoted me! I'm famous, now!

MIT Professor David Tinsdale believes that concerns over automation may be overstated. “Artificial Intelligence can already beat most programmers in their three major skill-sets: writing code, automating repetitive tasks, and lying about their level of knowledge,” the Professor claims. “However, that doesn’t mean it will eliminate programming jobs. It’s just going to the nature of the work programmers do. For instance: previously, programmers spent most of their days fixing errors and writing boilerplate code. In the future, they’ll have new responsibilities – like driving an uber or filming homemade pornography.”

Ooh, you mean Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie. Right, I had forgotten - of course we have A-list celebs.

Filming homemade pornography sounds a lot more fun than coding.
