It's a nifty tool though, which is better than my colleague, who is just a tool.
I too work with a lot of blunt tools on a daily basis
It will, eventually. Not this iteration of "AI", that one's dumb as hell, but eventually it will.
Yeah I kind of agree but I also think when it gets to that point we'll have much bigger problems than programmers losing their jobs. Like, most of society losing their jobs.
True, we'll be probably among the last to lose our jobs.
Like who do they think is going to fix bugs in the AI? The AI itself?
Obviously! Do you think the corporate overlords would entrust AI code to filthy human programmers?
Idk, I thought we were pretty far from the current level of conversation.
Kind of will. There are already templates on demand for things like generating unit tests as you code. They're pretty robust already, and have aside from a few things (or edge cases), I don't have to do much code refactoring or fixing them.
They already save me several hours a week from manually setting up full ones. Haven't delved into other stuff they can do, but I'm sure it would only be more useful with time.
I can very easily see companies looking at the time save and thinking "we can downsize".
And then they'll go out of business
And the execs who made these stupid decisions get their golden parachutes and everyone else has been laid off.
