Here's the thing, if this thing actually works not only are all programmers going to be out of a job but everyone else will too.
I really wish these articles would stop talking about how IBM made a computer than can beat a grand master at chess, how about talk about how computers can't beat my 9 year old at Go. There are lot of problems which computers currently excel at, creative thinking isn't one of them.
- danso 12y agoYou know...that's really one of the best analogies to the NP-complete problem in computer science...if ever a solution is found to them, then all NP-complete problems are solved. To use your excellent example...computers can't do everything...such as construct a program that fixes all bugs...Not that humans can do any better, but the humans who can control the computers can at least step in and instruct the computer how to fix itself or at least mitigate the damage. Once a computer can be programmed to program and fix all of its own bugs...well, then we won't need programmers, nor will we need humans, either.
