The last project I worked on before I retired was well over one million lines of code. It was written in Java, Java Script, Python, Fortran, C, C++, and TCL/TK.
You would have to teach AI to be really, really stupid to even attempt something like that!
This topic is waaay over my head. But I know what the tech advancements have done to farming. 60 years ago I was 9 and already a seasoned farmhand, driving equipment almost daily. The average cornbelt farm was about 240 acres, with 2-3 men doing the work.
Nowadays, with pesticides (weed and insect), programed computers, gps, and the interconnected systems, we are reaching the point where the farm tractor/combine/sprayer doesn’t need an operator riding it.
The farmer I help during spring planting and harvest covers almost 6,000 acres. 5 months out of the year he needs 6-7 people. The rest of the year 3 workers can handle the load.
Tech advancements have always reduced manpower requirements. Look at airliners: used to be 3 in the cockpit, now there’s 2.
Not only that, AI does not have Institutional Knowledge. If the user doesn’t know what they really want, AI is pretty useless to them.
Oh, dear God, that is precious!
