I'd suggest the opposite, move up rather. What's difficult for a computer is what's been difficult for humans since the invention of programming, turning a humans "I have this problem" into a concrete program that solves that specific problem in a good way.
What's hard in writing software is not the writing of software but that the software solves the right problem in the right way. If you aim to do this, I don't think computers will be able to do a better job than humans for a long time.
- jvm___ 4y agoThe current loop is Idea person -> Development work -> Idea person The development work piece is done by expensive humans and takes lots of $$ and time. If an AI chat bot was in the loop instead, and could quickly work with the idea person, why would anyone include a dev until it's at the end when you need it actually deployed or hosted - and maybe not even then. Just loops of "this is what I want" "no, not quite, change this"... I'm scared.
- kaba0 4y agoThese language model-based AIs are fundamentally limited, they are very impressive for what they can do, but they are at the end of the day just search engines trained on a litany of data that can form your question cleverly to look up its internal knowledge base and transform the output in a way that sort of makes sense. But it will not come up with any novel solutions to problems any time soon. E.g. I asked it whether 23 is a prime number and while it could state correctly that it only has two divisors, it failed to reason that it thus must be a prime number (even though it itself gave this definition).
