This is correct to a degree, but consider what doors GTP is opening. Its slow erosion of our responsibilities. If AI can do some of your work with minimal supervision then sooner or later managers will figure it out and reduce you job scope. Get an intern to do it. We are certainly not at level where you can talk to chatGTP and give it requirements to generate code, but who knows where we will be in 5,10 years. As a reason for my 'doomerism' consider digital artists industry right now. I can imagine that if you are concept artist at game studio, you are probably seriously worried. AI will not replace all artists - you need specific and consistent art assets to be created, AI doesnt understand fingers etc - but some of the workload can be done by pretty much anyone. Or have artists take AI generated images and touch it up. |

Was a compiled language a "slow erosion of our responsibilities" compared to writing assembler?
Was writing in a garbage-collected language a "slow erosion of our responsibilities" compared to manual memory management?
The better tools let us do more, faster. They let us waste less time on the trivial, and spend more time on figuring out how to actually build what we were trying to build. They didn't reduce the need for programmers - far from it.
GPT will probably be the same. It's a force multiplier. You can write more in less time. That will make people want software that they couldn't dream of before, because it was too expensive to build. Net programmer employment will probably go up, not down.
