  Well if it works, means that job wasn’t that important, and the people doing that job should improve themselves to stay relevant.

    job wasn’t that important

    I keep telling you that changing out the battery in the smoke alarm isn’t worth the effort and you keep telling me that the house is currently on fire, we need to get out of here immediately, and I just roll my eyes because you’re only proving my point.

      Sure, believe what you want to believe. You can either adapt to what’s happening, or just get phased out. AI is happening whether you like it or not. You may as well learn to use it.

        I get why you’re enthusiastic about AI. This whole comment reads like it was AI generated.

        AI can’t do anything that hasn’t been done before. That’s never going to change.

        You can adapt, but how you adapt matters.

        AI in tech companies is like a hammer or drill. You can either get rid of your entire construction staff and replace them with a few hammers, or you can keep your staff and give each worker a hammer. In the first scenario, nothing gets done, yet jobs are replaced. In the second scenario, people keep their jobs, their jobs are easier, and the house gets built.

    Define “works”?

    If you’re a CEO, cutting all your talent, enshittifying your product, and pocketing the difference in new, lower costs vs standard profits might be considered as “working”.

      Hmmm maybe you’re misunderstanding me.

      What I mean is “coding” is basically the grunt work of development. The real skill is understanding the requirements and building something efficiently. Tbh, I hate coding.

      What tools like Gemini or ChatGPT brings to the table is the ability to create small, efficient snippets of code that works. We can then just modify it to meet our more specific requirements.

      This makes things much faster, for me at least. If the time comes when the AI can generate more efficient code, making my job easier, I’d count that as “works” for me.

    Oh perhaps the CEOs are the ones that need to be replaced?

    Define “works.”

    Because the goals of a money-hungry CEO don’t always align with those of the workers in the company itself (or often, even the consumer).
