Have these people ever tried to code using chatGPT? It’s wrong SO often.
Edit: maybe they know this but they want to drive down the price of developers by pretending they don’t need them anymore. I would not be surprised if this were the case here.
it can barely get single functions correct but we’re supposed to believe it can write entire systems from a single prompt? Either way our job at the moment is writing instructions for another piece of software (compiler) to turn into the code. This just adds another level of abstraction. High level programming languages already let us do more with fewer staff. It didn’t make coders redundant, it let to even more software.
edit: forgot to add, agree with your edit, that or just trying to inflate their stock prices.
Exactly. They’ll be signing contracts with “AI” coding farms in India which will just be staffed by overworked and un(der)paid interns and/or junior devs.
It’s also possible that in 24 months, I grow wings made of fish and get into anime style battles in the sky with hungry seagulls. Just as likely.
