its very tedious to have to explain this to people irl because they're always like "yeah people have always been afraid of automation, they'll just find other jobs" and they dont really have the desire, patience or background to understand the difference beween, say, robot welders on a car assembly line and a general-purpose AI.

akadajet posted:can I feed it design mockups and have it implement everything? no, but automation rarely automates every step of the process first. It absolutely writes common code for you, and by 'writes' of course I mean "steals from people who open-sourced their projects".

yeah i think that ok its yospos and computers are bad and its all jokes but i think people sometimes need to take a moment and consider that maybe computers are an important factor in everyones life and whether that was a good idea or not, its a fact and we should at some point try to at least some approximation of a civil engineers sense of public responsibility

polyester concept posted:so far it seems like ai can only do variations of what already exists. you still need somebody familiar with the requirements and limitations of the project to be able to determine if the ai generated code is useful. in the not too distant future i can see a lot of developer jobs shifting towards guiding an ai towards a specific goal by defining input parameters. when ai can replace that job, then we’re in trouble i mean like 10 years ago if someone had told me I'd be able to say "produce an image of galdalf riding a giant duck in the style of vincent van gogh" and it would produce such an image I'd have said you were nuts. Given the immense fiscal rewards for making a machine that takes input of, for instance, UML diagrams and natural language requirements, I dont see how we wont see something like that in 10 years.

The Management posted:put another way, they are good at emulating language. they are not capable of emulating thought. yes, and they will absolutely replace a bunch of programmers writing code where quality doesnt matter as well. As an interesting thought experiment, how many programmers would you say that represents, as a fraction of the total?

like i dont think there's suddenly going to be zero programmers. I just think that vast swathes of them that are working on vanilla predictable business database skins will be put out of work in favor of a few people who know how to put all this poo poo using ai generated code.

Beeftweeter posted:because the output is based upon prior work i'm not convinced it can come up with something truly original. in that sense looking at generated text is pretty instructive, i.e. you can see that, for example, in this style of writing this sequence of words is generally used with this lexical structure and these subjects usually go with these terms, etc. most of the big money makers in the tech world have not made all their money because of their unique code.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:don't know much about law, but suspect that this is the same sort of deal as in programming where people automatically think about the 2% of the time when one is writing actually important core logic/algorithm code, which wont get automated because it is both the interesting and most important part. as opposed to the other 98% which is dreary repetitive stuff which takes all the longer and has more errors because it is dreary and repetitive. idk poo poo about the field but I suspect liability will be a serious issue here and the first couple times an AI produces an inaccurate summary or makes up case law out of whole cloth there will be some fireworks.
