I too am aware that our days are numbered but I have been thinking maybe as programmers we could make the inevitable take longer to arrive by coming up with licences that prevent the code we write from being used to train such models. Cause without the dataset it won't be a major threat.
- sokoloff 4y agoWhy subject future versions of us to mundanely typing in code that could be written more quickly (and likely with fewer errors) by an AI bot? That seems like arguing against the use of tractors or internal combustion engines in hopes that we could keep our jobs digging ditches by hand or shoveling coal into burners.
- voke_kevo 4y agoBut in this ,it is like by digging the ditches, the tractor gets better by looking at you digging the ditch. So why let it look at me while I dig the ditch if it will make me obsolete. But I know that you can't stop it, so it's better to find something else to do
- sokoloff 4y agoHave you stopped to examine why it is that you want to maintain a (relative) monopoly on ditch-digging? If a machine can (hypothetically) do it better, why do you want to do it?
