In a sense, Yes - to scoring function engineer.
But in seriousness - language models may be scaling in sophistication exponentially with time, but software engineering problems scale in complexity (on average) exponentially with lines of code. The base of this exponential function isn't large, but it's more than 1.
In the end there's a need for someone who understands what they're doing.
Personally, I use ChatGPT to discover libraries that solve my problems and the ~70% success ratio that I'm seeing with this is enough for me for now.
- goosinmouse 4y agoIt's hard to not think that scaling and complexity problems will be solved very shortly with new models. Already when i run into my 25 per 3hr limit with GPT-4, my productivity goes from extremely productive to "may as well just do it myself" when i switch back to GPT-3.5.
