> Everyone is so quick to argue that no machine could possible do their job There's a big difference between "No machine could do my job" and "ChatGPT can't do my job." Most people are saying the latter. Most people are right about that. I fully believe that there will be some time in the future when we can create programs powerful enough to convert clear enough natural language of business requirements into code. There may even come a time when we can create fully sapient, sentient machine intelligences, smart enough to work alongside us, though that I'm a bit more skeptical about. That doesn't mean that what we have today can do this. I can believe that there are certain things that ChatGPT and its brethren can do well enough to streamline away a few jobs, but for many reasons, I don't think that will be widespread. What all of this does mean is that we need to be pushing for political and economic changes to ensure that, when and if the full (or at least much greater) automation does happen, the human beings whose jobs disappear will be taken care of. We need to stop the fruits of automation going entirely to the already-wealthy, and instead make it so people are no longer required to dedicate their lives to toil just to be allowed to survive on this planet.
