The idea in those cases is not so much about automating jobs, but rather retaining less people but still getting the same productivity because the tools are helping.
As an avid user of Copilot and ChatGPT, those tools definitely make me faster. Sure, I gotta review everything it writes. But it's already easier to review Copilot code directly in my VSCode window than that of a junior or mid-level developer in Github.
I definitely wouldn't replace an employee with AI tools, though, and I don't see that changing...
Also: whether we can replace less experienced devs and not drive the remaining ones crazy, that remains to be seen.
- willcipriano 3y agoIf you are being effective at managing a business, you'd be keeping track of employee utilization at some level. What I'm saying is, if your employee utilization suddenly drops for reasons that it won't recover from, you should consider layoffs. If it hasn't dropped, you haven't really replaced a job with AI yet and are putting the cart before the horse.
