Believe it or not, I don't think it is that bleak. The posts I seem to see on Linkedin that touch this subject seem to be reminiscent of Tesla hype ( "soon you won't even need mechanics!" type of predictions ). It is definitely a different breed from the usual crop of 'no code' tools, but the similarities are really hard to ignore for me ( hype, no understanding of that blackbox does, and reality that things have to work-- and that someone has to actually understand how it works ). In other words, I honestly don't think AI ( in its current state at least ) will change much. I will go even as far as to say that I don't see current generation being able to create an appropriate prompt. I might be a little optimistic here, but having seen how people normally react to 'easier' things kinda confirms it. If I worry about anything here, is that AI will become THE answer that you will not be allowed to question. edit: clarified blackbox statement

Thanks for this optimistic post and to be clear I don't expect alphacode to put me out of a job. I've seen the hilarious examples where people get ChatGPT to for instance claim that abacus-based computing is faster than GPU-based computing. We're far from there with AI yet but we're on a trajectory and that's what worries me. But in the short term I definitely agree with you.

> If I worry about anything here, is that AI will become THE answer that you will not be allowed to question. People are already arguing with a bot about why there app was removed from the app store. Somewhat related, the question might become: do I have a bot that can win an argument with an other bot? As the internet already get flooded with AI-generated seo-spam, we already get to depend on software that outsmart these AIs. Some people here dream about becoming super productive. Reality might be that we will drown in AI-generated content (code, e-mails, web sites) that some poor people have to judge, clean up and curate.
