As an AI language model, I don't have personal ambitions or desires, so I won't replace programmers. However, AI technologies like ChatGPT can assist programmers in their work by automating certain tasks, providing code suggestions, or helping with debugging. AI can augment the capabilities of programmers and make them more efficient and productive. While AI may automate some aspects of programming, programmers will still play a crucial role in designing and creating complex systems, problem-solving, and ensuring the quality of software development. Programmers will continue to be in demand for the foreseeable future.
You still need someone who understands the code ChatGPT shits out, someone who checks if what it wrote is true/factual. There was recently a case of a lawyer who now faces possibility of losing his job because he cited a false case that GPT just made up and he didn't check if it really existed.
It's also a language model and can only respond with what it knows, so all those "i asked ChatGPT to make a Flappy Bird clone!" videos are extremely dishonest because there are literal hundreds of tutorials online how to do just that that were scraped and fed to it. It's really no different than googling it and copypasting the entire code from stackoverflow or some tutorial online.
And right now, GPT and OpenAI is facing court cases and lawsuits because they pretty much used content without permission and now earn money from it.
To basically summarize it too, it's a powerful tool, but it's extremely overhyped, even GPT4, and it's slowly getting banned from use in corporations and even certain countries (Italy).
>and it's slowly getting banned from use in corporations and even certain countries (Italy).
I get their intent but this is so shortsighted.
Also in the case of Italy that van was rescinded in April.
I'm a lowish level C/C++ GPU programmer.
I've tried to get GPT to write working code in CUDA and other programming models.
It will do very simple things, like give me a parallel for loop.
But it will utterly fail when writing production level GPU code for anything that matters.
Utterly fucking fail.
However there are probably ways for me to spend ~1 hour feeding it my codebase, telling it my goals, explaining the structure, etc.
Then it might be able to do something useful.
It has a long way to go though, even after that.
So...
Maybe GPT will replace things that can be automated.
But certain aspects of programming cannot be automated yet.
There's a lot of engineering behind it.
Literally like replacing civil engineers.
I can guarantee no city or company will ever let an AI decide a critical engineering feature.
Likewise for software; no company or agency will ever let AI have significant code inside their stack.
Maybe simple stuff here and there; stuff you can Google or find on stack overflow.
But nothing significant.
I think most people are coping really hard right now, and would you blame them? We've seen what GPT-4 can do. It's quite far from perfect, but the writing is already on the wall. It's not a matter of "if"; it's a matter of "when".
The best it can do is reduce the need for programmers. When a programmer uses it and can be as productive with it as 3 programmers without it, the company will no longer see the need to hire 2 more. Or they hire 2, instead of 6 etc
But that's probably mainly for non-tech companies with dev teams, tech companies will never stop hiring programmers.
the training will be completely different you dense rock. proto zoomers will be trained to get what they need out of chatgpt without even doing a lick of math. Hell it might be part of the highschool curriculum.
I use it for my coding hobbies and most of the time chatgpt-kun would generate helpful templates to start with. Solving bugs however is not something chatGPT is really good at since it all comes down to me wrestling with chatGPT going on circles and finally ending up visiting stack overflow or me finally using my brainpower for once to solve the issue at hand
so no I don't think it will replace programmers
also am very happy I still have the problem solving ability that AI can't replace =)

Fuck off language model
Maybe, black people didn't replace white people.

surely
No, it will assist them

It will replace some programmer.
Pajeets with chat gpt and a single gnomish supervisor across dozens of projects will replace entire teams of white programmers.
Oh no

In bootcamps maybe, but not in schools and unis. Calculators exist, we still learned to do it by hand.
It will replace the """useless programmers""" and all of BOT is conveniently too smart to be a """useless programmer""""
Programmers who can use ChatGPT will replace those who can't (or won't).
I use it for my coding hobbies and most of the time chatgpt-kun would generate helpful templates to start with.

It will replace companies, why apply for a job when I can use AI programmers to program and AI vendors to sell an entire product while I sleep?
