Don’t fall for the hype. Self driving cars have taken far more effort than a few hundred people for a decade and still aren’t replacing jobs in any meaningful capacity. Books still go to editors after spellcheck and grammar check exist etc etc. Hell Dishwasher is still a job at most restaurants even decades after effective washing machines were invented, automation is just slower than generally portrayed. Generative AI is still terrible at producing content people would actually pay to access. It’s hit the commissions market because the commissioner has some idea they want and someone who knows how to do the promos can make a lot of images quickly. Yet, Disney animation isn’t laying off anyone these images don’t suck but they’re also not good enough yet. Give it 40 years and who knows but that’s not tomorrow. In terms of programming yes in very specific situations these things can improve productivity, but so can new libraries etc. It’s a long way from actually replacing programmers because what they are good at is what there’s examples that are close to it in the training data. Ask for a basic weather simulation using different atmospheric gasses and it’s not going to know what to do.
