Is it a wrap for Software Engineers? Devin autonomous AI software engineer...

Read a story once about an AI that diagnosed diseases. This was 10 years ago.

They put the symptoms in

and the AI reads

EVERY medical article published. Ever. In like.. 35 seconds.

Then it tells them the likely disease.

Okay. Great. This is something humans can do. Except the patient had hours to live and the humans would take days to do the research.

The computer was exactly right also.

If the AI can save countless hours of physically typing then that's actually great. Frees the humans up to imagine and create at a faster rate.

I think an unintended side effect of this tech is that people will actually have less expertise.

Like the first tweet says, you need to be a Senior to understand and write the best code with it possible. That includes fixing code it's outputting that you know is wrong.

However, Seniors really found out those shortcomings because they've gone through what every single profession must go through: the learning cycle.

You write code, shyt doesn't work, you got to fix it and understand what went wrong. With that piece of knowledge and lessons, you can now find the error in any piece of code about that topic whether written by a person or A.I. People, especially Juniors who are going to use A.I for like 99% of everything won't have the experience of fixing and making much of anything from pure scratch so they won't understand if what the A.I is doing is truly correct or not. They'll more or less accept it without verifying if it's optimal or even correct.

It'll definitely have impact on writing code no dount, but it'll make worse engineers, codebases and some very costly bugs imo without people who know what they're doing. Unfortunately, I think the longer people use it without keeping their own skills sharp, the lower their ceiling gets.

It really is like the calculator: if someone studies up and knows their material, they can do all kinds of crazy shyt with it. The normal person with weaker math skills can still add do some operations, but nothing advanced.

it won't even compile or worse translate if devs just took what AI generates.

i'm not sure you appreciate the level at which programming instructs computers.

"some" bugs

Shyt is crazy. Claude AI can do the code, you only really need to maintain it.

why? claude can maintain it too, right?

yeah like i said look at the camera in the first iphone compared to a iphone 15

ai is only going to get better and better and better

like self-driving cars are now the norm

 

[#1 pick]

white collar workers bout to feel how unskilled laborers felt at the turn of industrialization

we made machines to make us obsolete in the workspace but they still want us consuming at peak rates to drive these economies. that shyt don't add up...

*disconnect

this shyt won't end well. hope y'all prepared for the chaotic future.

It's already happening

Is even loading roms.

I thought AI will be able to write NES emulator not faster than 2026 or 2027 .. that is crazy.
