So sick of all this now. Honestly any time I go online to learn about AI writing code, I end up knowing less. One person will say 'Lets not fire all our devs, AI is another tool not a replacement'. Then you get another guy saying 'Lol yeah right just wait till SuperAI v3.6 comes out, then we'll all be fired'

What the hell is wrong with you people? These are people's livelihoods.

Well I guess I'm in the former category but what do you expect us "the people" to do about it? I don't think you should halt progress just because people would lose jobs because people create and do jobs because there is something that needs to be done. If we keep them around just so people have jobs then we're running an adult kindergarten which makes no sense to me. Besides, there will be jobs that can't be done by AI for a long time to come and the current AIs are relatively crappy compared any average software dev. I wonder why this is such a popular topic even, to me it feels like if you'd use one of these LLMs for more than a week you'd start to see why it's incapable of replacing anything major.

Do you think about lamp lighters the same way?

[loliver666]

If you're able to compare software devs with lamp lighters, you've truly bought in to the AI hype.

If lamp lighters also build and maintain the lamps, produce the town gas, build and maintain the gas pipes, clean the streets, you sure as hell shouldn't fire them, because they invented self lighting lamps.

Yes? And train wagon brake operators.

Social upheaval sucks for those involved.
