Software development will be one of the first things AI labor does. What is silly are people like you claiming it can't be done. Your mistake is thinking that

  Can you quote where I said that it can't be done? I only said it won't be done in a matter of months like you claimed. > "can do any economic task humans currently do", that is within the range of a "few months," I think it's extremely unlikely that anything of the sort will be done by 2030 in any profession. I feel confident that I'll still have a job as a software developer in 2040 if I'm not in retirement by then. Now the real question - how long until they can perform ANY "economic task" (or at least any office job)? I don't think that's happening within our lifetimes. Certainly not within 20 years and to predict that this is coming within "months" isn't just silly, it's completely delusional. > Your mistake is thinking that having "an abundance of data" is the bottleneck. That, and the economics of building a billion-dollar supercomputer just to replace a junior software developer. And we're STILL just talking about software development. How about any real engineering discipline, how many months before one of those jobs can be done by AI?

    I'm comfortable letting history decide who is right. Thanks for your reply.
