On a realistic scale in 20 years AI doesn’t just pop it crashes every CEOs company that bet on it because AI is just a pattern recognition algorithm and its all just attempts at following the pattern it recognizes.

So what happens when the experienced devs quit or retire… ?

Same shit when we shipped the jobs in 2013 to code farms that had no fucking clue how to actually do dev work. It’ll come back in a few years. Give it no more than another 5 years of this shit and code will be so fucked production will grind to a halt requiring these idiots to rehire competent devs again, then the jr positions will follow.
MattBlackAlien@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
This still assumes that there will still be competent devs who want to come back to work.
What have they been doing for the last five years ? Presumably finding something else to pay the rent and/or provide fulfillment.
SupraMario@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Not saying some will jump to other fields, but the nearly 5 years of code farming bullshit happened and we recovered.

Fulfillment?
MattBlackAlien@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Retired.

surely the plagiarism machine will have evolved itself into a superintelligent thinking machine by then.
right?

By regurgitating its own slop ! By Jove, you’ve cracked it.

That’s the question that no AI-bro has answered so far. When I retire, I’ll spend my time writing simple open-source stuff for me and for those who still want to create stuff and solve problems.

Honestly I think AI is a scape goat here. Tech has been doing layoffs and reducing staff since covid ended and I think they’re just rolling with the AI excuse to both make AI sound more competent and to take some heat off of them.
