End of IT industry

I’m sorry. Most likely clickbait but still worth discussing.

    >coding sucks
    yes, i literally want AI to write 90% of shit i've fully planned to do but have not enough typing speed to perform it in reasonable time
    programming languages are gay anyway, bloat

    Another day, another AI bait thread. They're really getting desperate huh? Why don't you hire some pajeets to write your AIs? If they aren't pissed at you as well that is.

    programmers will become obsolete but give birth to a new job title called "prompter". the expert prompters can create basically anything.

      The real redpill is that this is already how the industry worked, and AI basically changed nothing.
      10x Programmers have always been Google Search promptoors and Stack Overflow copypasters.
      If you understand how AI works under the hood - its basically an alternative Search Engine that mixes and matches results.
      It remains to be seen if AI-type algorithms can beat PageRank.
      With SEO and Censorship making traditional search worse and worse, there is an opening for AI in this domain.
      The problem is that AI companies are starting to add "guardrails" - censorship destroyed modern search and it will destroy AI too.

        Theoretically it shouldn't be too hard to make a GPT web crawler that attempted to judge content based on its own merits and only used links as a means to find new content and didn't consider popularity in the quality equation.

          SEO means you're going to need to train a GAN hard against adversarial SEO strategies - it's much easier said than done.

            I'm 99% certain you could throw SEO content at the GPT-4 on the API and have it generate some scores based on how much padding the content has and how much the content sounds like bullshit. But without that, you could have it summarize most websites especially recipe websites to cut the bullshit fluff.

              The problem is that an arms race is in the making.
              People are already afraid AI will flood the internet with bullshit articles since it can generate infinite content.
              Because humans do game theory, you're going to see people using AI to circumvent AI.
              That's basically what SEO is in the first place, just more primitive.
              If the internet does get flooded with bullshit, this may also make future AI (trained on the internet) much worse too.
              Then people will need to curate "high quality datasets" for AI.

                They already score human generated content for quality. It's no different scoring content based on how likely it's generated by AI. But really the best algorithm is one based on detecting bullshit. The problem with SEO in general is people write 1000 word articles about something they've never used or seen before. SEO articles read like a high schooler padding an essay, they say a lot of words but don't actually say anything substantial. A well written and credible article not only makes assertions but use facts to back up those assertions and further can use facts to back up their facts. So just like you can grade an essay for bullshit you can train an AI to detect bullshit. If a human can determine an article is bullshit, so can an AI (with some work).

    People saying dumb shit to get clicks has reached a fever pitch with all the AI bullshit. Screencap this: programming will still be a thing in 3 years. Will it look different? Absolutely, but it's not going away.

    What is an AI?

      >What is an AI?
      Hey LULZentoomen, let's talk AI, 'cause who doesn't love some big-brain bot discussions?

      So, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is all about making machines smart enough to do stuff that usually only us meatbags can do. Think learning, problem-solving, chit-chatting in human lingo, and making some sick decisions. You've got everything from basic "follow the rules" AIs to top-tier smartypants AIs that keep getting better with time.

      There are a ton of ways to build AI, like machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), which is just ML on steroids. ML is all about creating algo-magic that learns from data, and DL uses those fancy-schmancy artificial neural networks to copy our wrinkly grey matter.

      Nowadays, AIs are everywhere. They're in healthcare, banking, self-driving cars, and even making movies and games. But they're not all rainbows and unicorns. People are worried about losing jobs to robots, creepy privacy issues, and whether these bots are actually fair when they make choices.

      So, what do you think, LULZ? Is AI gonna be our best bud or ultimate downfall? Let's hear your spiciest hot takes.

    Ah yes, of course, The CEO of an AI company who is relying on AI to make money off you retards is trying to convince you that coding sucks and that AI is the future. Totally an unbiased opinion by someone who doesn't have a monetary interest in promoting AI for everything...

          Not really a good comparison. Previous AI efforts were mostly limited to academic dick sucking. They didn't have any impact in the wild. Current wave has already delivered actually usable products and will continue to do so even if it stalls.

    Far worse: This will be the end of software as we know it. You really think there is going to be any software that will be "reverse engineerable" or "hackable"? Nope.
    All that will exist is some stupid transformer that will be trained to act like software. Wanna modify it? Ah, sorry man that's just not possible. Why don't you train your own AI to do the Job? What? Can't afford to? Sucks to be you I guess

      That doesn't even make sense. This is like saying troons will replace real women in reproduction.

        No, you wouldn't need the von neumann machine anymore you could just implement the transformer on a neuromorphic chip. This will be much more efficient and remove a lot of complexity at the cost of not being able to reverse engineer anything anymore.

    He's right though, most coding is drudgery. Actually getting something from prototype to publishable is a slog.
