    People who think AI will replace X job either don’t understand X job or don’t understand AI.

    AI isn’t ready to replace just about anybody’s job, and probably never will be technically, economically or legally viable.

    That said, the c-suit class are certainly going to try. Not only do they dream of optimizing all human workers out of every workforce, they also desperately need to recoup as much of the sunk cost that they’ve collectively dumped into the technology.

    Take OpenAI for example, they lost something like $5,000,000,000 last year and are probably going to lose even more this year. Their entire business plan relies on at least selling people on the idea that AI will be able to replace human workers. The minute people realize that OpenAI isn’t going to conquer the world, and instead end up as just one of many players in the slop space, the entire bottom will fall out of the company and the AI bubble will burst.

    That Ace account is just an alt of the original guy and rage baiting to give his posting more reach.

    AI is fucking so useless when it comes to programming right now.

    They can’t even fucking do math. Go make an AI do math right now, go see how it goes lol. Make it a, real world problem and give it lots of variables.

      I have Visual Studio and decided to see what copilot could do. It added 7 new functions to my game with no calls or feedback to the player. When I tested what it did …it used 24 lines of code on a 150 line .CS to increase the difficulty of the game every time I take an action.

      The context here is missing but just imagine someone going to Viridian forest and being met with level 70s in pokemon.

    A person who hasn’t debugged any code thinks programmers are done for because of “AI”.

    Oh no. Anyways.

    The reason programmers are cooked isn’t because AI can do the job, bit because idiots in leadership have decided that it can.

      This is exactly what rips at me, being a low-level artist right now. I know Ai will only be able to imitate, and it lacks a “human quality.” I don’t think it can “replace artists.”

      …But bean-counters and executives, who have no grasp of art, marketing to people who also don’t understand art, can say it’s “good enough” and they can replace artists. And society seems to sway with “The Market”, which serves the desires of the wealthy.

      I point to how graphic design departments have been replaced by interns with a Canva subscription.

      I’m not going to give up art or coding, of course. I’m stubborn and driven by passion and now sheer spite. But it’s a constant, daily struggle, getting bombarded with propaganda and shit-takes that the disciplines you’ve been training your whole life to do “won’t be viable jobs.”

      And yet the work that “isn’t going anywhere” is either back-breaking in adverse conditions (hey, power to people that dig that lol) and/or can’t afford you a one-bedroom.

    Co"worker" spent 7 weeks building a simple C# MVC app with ChatGPT

    I think I don’t have to tell you how it went. Lets just say I spent more time debugging “his” code than mine.

      I will give it this. It’s been actually pretty helpful in me learning a new language because what I’ll do is that I’ll grab an example of something in working code that’s kind of what I want, I’ll say “This, but do X” then when the output doesn’t work, I study the differences between the chatGPT output & the example code to learn why it doesn’t work.

      It’s a weird learning tool but it works for me.
