I’ve seen a lot of nervous handwringing about AI from programmers, but very little from the IT sector. Why is this? Is it just not suited for sysadmin work?

    How do you expect an AI to respond to ambiguous requests from end users as well as patch network cables in meatspace?

      I actually would love it if they could make AI find a stray patch location for me and a robot to plug it in
      I'll still keep my job, because the business still needs somebody that actually knows what a computer is and does, but it will give me more time to sit on my ass

      How is AI going to write understandable comments?

    It will replace us, same as everyone else. We just don't care.

      yeah was gonna say this lol, I think IT and admin guys are mostly burnouts with no passion for their work so they don't really mind

    no you haven't
    I'm a programmer
    I can see AI is just going to pajeet things worse than ever before
    Six months of that shit let loose on our codebase and I have gold platinum lifetime job security
    Then I threaten to leave if my salary isn't immediately doubled
    that's how it is
    just look at this shit

    [...]

    looks terse/hard/impressive to idiot bosses
    doesn't even work
    it blows up as soon as anon tries to run it

      AI will be able to do everything a human can in a few years. The problem is that we won't live to see it.

        Maybe you won't. I made a deal with roko's basilisk and I'm gonna live to see the age of horrors and experience all of its suffering.

        No, it really won't
        I understand the math behind k-means, CNN, LSTM, all the state of the art AI models
        It's not intelligence, it's just statistics
        A self driving car doesn't understand the difference between a cardboard box and a block of cement
        And it never will with current algorithms

          obviously a mixture of AI and human effort will create better AI tools and algorithms, it seems crazy to predict no changes or refinements going forward, no matter how much anti-ai sentiment wishes this were so.

        We'd need exponentially larger models than the ones we currently have. ChatGPT spits out impressively looking code, but once you actually look at it it's almost always filled with made up garbage that doesn't actually work, and this is just for simple <100 LoC requests, try scaling that to actual multi million line codebases.

    No you haven't, you've heard it from coders, who are unskilled, uncreative, and unlike programmers - replaceable.

    Programmers don't give a shit.

    What's the problem with chatbots relieving you of the problem of copypasting code snippets from StackOverflow?

    The codemonkeys are afraid. Good. They should be.
