I might be uninformed here, I have yet to hear of anyone actually being replaced or reqs being reduced because of LLM scripting. I understand the threat, and it seems like a competent programmer could maybe squeeze out 1.5-2x their work with such a program, but is anyone actually doing that? Are any hiring managers or CTOs authorizing that instead of hiring a human?
I’m not saying it won’t happen, but so far it feels like the only reality is that we’re all a bit uncomfortable that it will happen eventually.
- metabro 3y agoAt big tech companies we are embedding ai into all layers of our workflow. And it’s accelerating.
- jprete 3y agoCan you give an example where AI has potentially displaced human software engineers? I know of an example where creatives were probably laid off in favor of AI, but not clear examples for software engineering itself. (I'm not in favor of creatives losing their jobs either! It's just off-topic.)
- metabro 3y agoI haven’t seen anyone get laid off due to ai but maybe we don’t hire as many contractors to deal with some work that is now much easier due to the intelligent automation. Perhaps leadership is factoring this into their headcount decisions now.
