Lmao, AI isn't replacing programmers anytime soon.
Thing is, computer tech tends to grow exponentially. If I were you, I'll start to learn a backup skill right now.
Lmao, I'm not a programmer although i know how, and even if I was I wouldn't be worried for good reason. AI requires explicit instructions for everything. So in order to use it to code you need to be a programmer.
I'm not a programmer and I've used it to code. It rarely works the first time around, but I'm sure it will improve quickly to be more accurate.
I'm also not worried. Software complexity generally grows proportional to the complexity of the requirements. And most projects I've been a part of, no one could have told you all the requirements even after we've figured them out.
The code + test code is usually the only document that describes the requirements. And with high-level languages, there's not that much boilerplate around the codified requirements either. Besides, we can use LLMs for that boilerplate ourselves.
If an AI was made that was smarter than programmers, couldnt it make a smarter AI, which could make an even smaryet AI repeating
