Someone will need to know if the code AI generates is actually good and secure.
~~~
Considering the way “AI” would try to build a program, likely by breaking down functions and borrowing known code, I doubt it it would be secure. Also, it will be bloatware, because it’s being cobbled together.
But neither of those two things are all that rare today with human intelligence coders either.
AI requires too many milliseconds to generate the code I need. My tools are faster, more reliable and more on-target.
Grace Hopper would roll over in her grave.
“As of now it generates nothing new.”
EXACTLY! ... so-called AI simply regurgitates that which has already been invented, discovered, developed and/or built by humans at some time during recorded history AND which has been “written” and recorded in some fashion, whether said fashion be natural language, diagrams, mathematics or computer code, including the recorded output of other computer code ...
“farming”?
The elites are waging an all-out war against farming in Europe, the UK, Canada and the USA because of supposed climate impacts.
But farmers are starting to aggressively push back as they learn about government efforts to confiscate their lands and put them out of business. People are starting to wake up to the globalist / elite plan to starve the world’s people to reduce population by billions.
Farmers are wonderful people taking all sorts of financial and personal risks to feed us. They have to fight suffocating government over-regulation and over-reach every day. It is horrendous that they have become a targeted class. Do young people really want to go into a field increasingly dominated by politics and bound to get worse?
It’s a personal thing for me. I’m not a farmer, but I went into the power business in 1973 partly because I wanted to do something good for the country (I was sick of seeing the Vietnam war on TV every night). After 20 to 25 years in the industry, I saw the heavy politicization of power taking place, first with power “deregulation” and then the war on CO2. Every business decision was dominated by politics, not technology or providing customers the best, most reliable service at low price. Executive staff turned over: engineers were out and replaced by armies of lawyers, environmentalists, lobbyists, and do-gooders. The industry became suffocating and a horrid place to work, so I got out. It’s gotten a lot worse in the 23 years since I got out, too.
So, I question is recommendation about farming. If you want a government heavy-handed, highly politicized career, that may be the place for you.
our edge on the battlefield is IT.
we onshored people to train and ship home to offshore as much development as possible.
and now we’re supposed to stop being developers.
so when china comes at us with their AI... we’ll have no skills with which to counter.
I worked in building design for many years and the old paradigm was to have a designer draw on paper and a drafter turn those drawings into computer images. As auto CAD products became more sophisticated designers could work directly with the program, no need for dedicated drafters.
Now those afraid of the future say that would push drafters out of a job. What ended up happening was that the increased speed of design allowed for more projects to be taken on. Rather than compete for the limited pool of designers architects and engineers started training drafters to do (often limited) design work. There were some without the capacity to design and they moved into project set-up roles or were pushed out but for the most part the pie got bigger and people made a better living.
Years ago, as American jobs were being phased out/shipped overseas, the left’s mantra was “Learn to code!”
What are we supposed to learn now??
We’ve all seen movies where the psychopath wants to destroy man for the good of mankind.
In real life, we have Gates & the WEF rulers and, to some extent, a few standard politicians, who want most of humankind to die to “Save the planet.”
I don’t think it’s unlikely at all for some $billionaire psycho (Gates?) to stealthily aid in the development and deployment of AI for just such purposes.
She would be "hopping mad"! :)
I sat in a legal team meeting of a SaaS company the other day, and the topic was AI. Presently the company makes very little use of AI due to intellectual property issues.
Eventually they'll come to appreciate the now-antiquated concept of "business classes". Business classes will be the valued code that cannot and should not be AI-generated, while all else will be AI-generated.
This means, to me, that there will always be a place for the human coder. However, wannabes need not apply.
I'm just lately rediscovering my coding roots as I approach retirement. I'll probably die with a keyboard at my fingertips ... a decent mechanical, backlit keyboard of course!
