I also get a bit of the same feeling (only i think i still have the energy to climb that hill). But i feel really worried for the junior devs, that didn’t have the time to build their skills yet. They’re going to be the first batch of jobs rendered obsolete by AI. Only harder problems will be left to solve, and only senior will be able to do it. Until even those problems get solved by AI of course.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoWhat I find exceptionally frustrating is that whenever there is talk about artists, illustrators, and writers being replaced, the response from programmers is almost a universal "automation is good, everything will be cheaper, they weren't really creative anyway." It's a psychedelic ride, watching humans construct AI. Unlike other automations, it automates faster and evolves faster than anything before, making it much harder for society to adapt. I often wonder if we've crossed the threshhold of a "speed limit of adaptation". Even if we haven't, it's an important question to ask and yet no one, especially the technophiles, are asking it except in private or in very superficial ways. Personally, I think there's an underlying fear to the whole thing: everyone fears that AI replacement may be total, so everyone is trying to get ahead of the curve so that they become the one doing the replacing, instead of the one being replaced.
- block_dagger 3y agoI believe we crossed the speed limit a few thousand years ago. Human evolution is so much slower than our technology has been since the agricultural revolution.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoIt is not the comparison of human evolution and technology that I was making, but rather a comparison between societal evolution and technology.
