Why would we be worried at all? One year after ChatGPT became a thing, VC money are still being used for the supposed revolution that so far has not materialized. And I am not saying one year is a long enough time to judge, no; I am saying that the financial incentives are severely tilted against making "AI" itself productive. The VC-backed AI startups have to expand, grow, hype up their product, and not worry about accuracy and reproducibility very much. They are sabotaging their own area. The incentives are extremely wrong. I and 99.9999% of all programmers everywhere don't have to lift a finger; the area itself will self-destruct after a while. And as other posters pointed out -- if an "AI" can displace all programmers out of jobs, I rather worry about that when it happens (I have my doubts whether it will happen in this century but that's a separate topic). Our current society's / civilization's incentives are severely fucked as well. What even is "value" these days? We need to get permits to interact with nature, whereas being able to destroy said nature is rewarded with money. Worrying about losing one's job is of course rooted in common sense but that's only in the general sense; worrying about the nebulous "AI" that is always juuuuust around the corner is rooted in fantasies. Just one example: for all the money invested in "AI", nobody has figured out to plug CI/CD or just general verifier scripts so the LLM can self-improve on whether it spits out the right code when prompted (and I am not saying you can capture _all_ human prompts of course; I am saying that a good chunk of the smaller algorithms can be detected and tested before the LLM gives you your output -- and even that is not being done). Food for thought.
