What about code that other (human) engineers write? Do you not understand that code too because you didn't write it?
- galaxyLogic 6mo agoIntersting observation. There is a difference however. Pre-AI each human programmer understood the code they wrote, in general. So there were many humans who understood some part of the code. Poast-AI there will be no humans who understand any code, presumably. Sure we will understand its syntax, but the overall architecture of applications may be so complicated that no human can understand it, in practice.
