The LLM Job Paradox
- tjwheeler 4mo agoI've been a software developer for 30 years. I've loved getting into AI and working with it to code, but here is the truth: I plan the solution architecture, orchestrate the AI to code, verify the code it creates, then point out all the security, scalability and design flaws it introduced. So can I be replaced by an AI? Not yet at least, but, I am made more efficient. Does that equate to job loses? Possibly. A development team of 10 people, once patterns and practices are created, become more efficient. They either produce more, or some team members might be let go and output is maintained.
- MisterKent 4mo agoOf course, but that's kinda the point I'm making here: It's a tool not a replacement. Job losses due to productivity may be inevitable, but that's not the same as being replaced by AI, that's being displaced.
- tjwheeler 4mo agoI agree. One day the AI might be good enough, but not today.
