Do you know that scene in "Office Space" where that guy says:
"What is it that you do here?" and he says:
"I take the specifications and hand them to the software engineers".
I think our jobs are about to approach that a lot more closely than you might think. Our jobs will be effective translators between what the business wants and what the AI outputs.

- marcus_holmes 4y agoSwitch "AI" and "compiler" and you describe exactly what a programmer does.
- roncesvalles 4y agoExactly. ChatGPT is just a compiler for the low-precision programming language known as English. In programming we can always make a tradeoff between precision and effort, e.g. by importing libraries or using no-code or code-generation tools. ChatGPT is just one more point on the same tradeoff curve. It hasn't meaningfully moved the curve itself. Moving the curve would mean making it less effortful to write code at the same level of precision.
