Human-out-of-loop self-programming systems are coming. Philosophical opinions of craftsmanship and understanding are orthogonal and thus moot to the impending replacement of human labor with automation. Beyond prompts, NAI applied to capturing and apply requirements, feedback, feature requests, and bug reports will be the tipping point.
It doesn't matter if someone thinks they're special when an algorithm can and does take their job by spitting out disgusting Javascript that happens to accomplish business needs well enough to not hire the human. Business value is all businesses care about.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y agoHuman-out-of-loop clothing has been a thing for awhile now. And if business only wants to wear one-size-fits-all t-shirts and tube socks, then they are in for a treat. Those that need something more bespoke, that fits them better, that isn't disposable because the problems it's trying to solve aren't disposable... they might still need the tailor. I know a few human programmers who would make really good LLMs. And they seem unable to come up with non-absurd code at all. If you define the specs with enough details that they haven't screwed it up, then you're at a point where you've basically already written the software anyway. Should I be worried that robot programmers will do any better?
