Eventually the music will stop for programmers too, but right now ChatGPT and its variants probably pose a bigger threat to people writing texts for a living. Journalists for example will become a lot more productive.
- matwood 4y agoI've been hearing the music will stop for programmers for the last 30 years. Expert systems and formal specification languages were supposed to be able to generate software. 4/5GLs were supposed to allow anyone to write software (they actually have done an ok job). But with every advance, the business software goal posts moved. An advantage the typical IT worker has is they are generally used to the learn or perish treadmill. So whatever comes out will be incoporated into workflows and more complex software will be built. A rise in real journalism again would be great. Content farm/seo spam/content summarization should have been automated a long ago.
