Did you see GPT-4 demo yesterday?
Seems to me that after a LLM has been trained to the level of GPT-3.5, we programmers not only are not needed, but most of what we can do can be automated.
So how exactly are programmers are needed to automate things with AI? What am I missing?
- wing-_-nuts 4y agoDevelopers aren't getting replaced until we have strong AGI. GPT still hallucinates it's output much of the time. You need someone who can review that output before you can trust it. Maybe LLM's get to the point where they really help dev productivity, and we wind up needing less devs overall, but that hasn't happened in the past when easy to use frameworks like rails made it super easy to spin up a twitter clone. In fact, employment exploded. TLDR: Devs won't be out of a job until we run out of things to automate. Sometime around the heat death of the universe or we're being crushed by skynet.

IBM Watson passed the bar in UK and was hired as a 'lawyer' - Don't see lawyers going away... The hype circles keep circling ... Yeah, chatGPT is neat - but its still got a long way to go... Edit: oh - and lets not forget, we were all supposed to be programming in ADA now. It was going to 'take over' the world, first in DoD... then spreading to general usage. Can't remember the last time I saw an ADA job ?
