- ilaksh 3y agoWell the thing is though that if you focus on it for a week or two you can pick up useful skills. Just play around with ChatGPT for example for generating SQL for a particular table or follow a tutorial using llamaindex for a "chat with documents" thing. Try out a Stable Diffusion API or something using replicate.com There are a ton of people looking for help with generative AI and you can be useful if you just play around with it for a few weeks, because a lot of them have no idea about the basics. If you are willing to be underpaid there is no need to be unemployed -- just spend a few weeks studying and then go on Upwork.
- SrslyJosh 3y agoLLMs might be useful for churning out vaguely correct-looking code quickly, but they're just regurgitating the contents of their training corpus. There's no guarantee of correctness, and it's only a matter of time before someone dies because of an LLM-generated bug. Human programmers aren't going anywhere. (You can't even call what LLMs do programming, because there's no intent or understanding behind it.)
