In my opinion, there is nothing at all to fear, because (IMHO) the actual description of the software developer’s task exists in the human world, and will never encompass nor be able to provide the set of “bright-line rule” parameters that computational algorithms demand. Any “AI algorithm” that would seek to take our place would immediately be confronted with the same set of uncertainties and ambiguities that we humans face every day ... and be tasked to cope with it using “vastly inferior hardware” to our “still barely-understood wetware.” It could never successfully reduce the problem into a context that it would be able to more-efficiently understand, because, if the actual problem could actually be so reduced, we would have done it long ago (and we would not today be wishing for an algorithmic savior). “The problem is not ‘the computer.’” (We possess still-barely-understood “wetware” that dwarfs the computational ability of anything that we have yet been able to create.) The problem is the ever-changing context in which the tasks that we wish to computerize necessarily exist. If it really were that easy, we would have already done it (and be teaching it today to schlebs who could only expect to ever earn minimum wages).
More or less, our jobs remain exactly as they always have been: to find a way to use Of course, to the extent that AI advances can assist(!) in these things ... “hey, that’s what digital computers are for!” (Is it ready yet??) In reply to Re: How will Artificial Intelligence change the way we code?
