It’s way too late to pretend AI won’t have an impact on programming as a profession.
Better to be excited and learn the tool as it develops than to stick your head in the sand.
A world where AI has put literally everyone “out of a job,” meanwhile, is still so far from our current reality that IMO, it’s not worth making practical day-to-day decisions on unless you are directly involved in the development or regulation of AI.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoThat is exactly the prisoner's dilemma. Besides, I already quit being a programmer this year :)

- TerrifiedMouse 3y ago> meanwhile, is still so far from our current reality 2 years ago something like ChatGPT (as limited as it is) was “far from our current reality”. I think it’s worthwhile to think ahead.
- ketzo 3y agoI understand your broader point, which is that progress in this space will be discontinuous and hard to see until it’s already happened. But two years ago, GPT-3 was already astounding. ChatGPT made some pretty huge gains, and GPT4 more still, but the thing that exists today was relatively predictable, compared to a world where human effort is no longer important.
