- Traubenfuchs 5y agoHi! What is your job and why are you not worried? I am also looking for reasons not to be worried!
- endisneigh 5y agoi'm curious - if you're worried based off that video - why?
- OneEyedRobot 5y agoIt seems to me that the problem from a programmers standpoint isn't that their job will disappear but that the definition of their job will change quite a lot. I always think of the example of supermarket cashiers. Formerly a fairly skilled job but now merely providing cheap meat-robot manipulators for a scanner. The person is still there but has a job concentrated down to the few things a person does better, and those things aren't always the fun things.
- MrsPeaches 5y agoI wonder if “coding/coder” will go the same way as “computing/computer” [1] [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_(occupation) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_(occupation)
- bcrosby95 5y agoI don't see a world where this happens. Not because the AI will never be smart enough, but instead because if the system is smart enough to turn this into a low skill job, then you could just have domain experts use it - which is the holy grail of programming tools.
- Jensson 5y agoThe job already has changed, we have been using AI to write code for decades already. Most people no longer write a lot of code based on their own understanding, rather they google for code libraries or snippets, include them and then fiddle with it until they do what the coder wants it to. I don't see how this situation is any different from that.
- Traubenfuchs 5y agoI wrote what I wrote before watching it. After watching it I am not afraid for the coming... 5-10 years. Ok. But what then? Why am I afraid, what am I afraid of? In the last years "AI" started to make surprising leaps every few years. What we got now is the "child of a new species". It's still a child. But it can grow. The species we are seeing scares me, as an overpaid codemonkey. I can compete with a child of it, but I could not compete with an adult of it. Imagine this system, but more advanced, more tuned to your specific domain. The systems we work with are all trapped in mind boggling complexity, but what if AI starts to untangle this, what if AI starts to truly become the only human-machine interface to produce software?
- qualudeheart 5y agoEventually you’ll need better control systems. As AI becomes more advanced it becomes harder to understand and then control. Everything that isn’t AGI is still easy to control. My vision would be a brain computer interface, which lets you perceive the data processed by the AI and so on like you’d perceive sounds or colors. It would be like synesthesia where you perceive multiple modes of qualia correlated with together. You’d have an extremely high level “programming language” using your thoughts, the brain computer interface automatically interprets that to machine instructions. In this scenario the AI doesn’t become a human machine interface. The AI is the machine and the brain-computer interface is the human-machine interface you described. In theory you could use this to access cloud compute and delegate tasks to machines like you would today with a computer. I suspect this will help us compete with and survive artificial general intelligence.
