I think it's necessary to consider that we as programmers are paid mostly for what counts as 'commissions' or 'elevator music'. Building another REST endpoint or wiring together a CI/CD pipeline hardly counts as advancing the state of the art, but that's what mostly pays the bills.
And on the contrary, let's say you managed to push the state of the art, like you developed a more efficient fast fourier transform, now, how would you go about charging money for that?
- touch_abs 4y agoIm not really sure what your point is; If there were a similar tool for software dev im sure it would gut the industry in the same way. The thing about these AI art tools is they emulate the normal commission process for a client; You describe what you want with example pictures and a short statement and you get roughly what you wanted. I dont think there is an equivalent for SW work yet, everything I have seen is aimed at accelerating an expert. The thing about computers/computing is that being better at a task usually gives someone a commercial advantage; finding them and exchanging money for the implementation seems fairly straightforward...
