But the only way to learn debugging is to have experience coding. So if we let AI do the coding then all the entry level coding jobs go away and no one learns to debug.
This isn’t just a code thing. This is all kinds of professions. AI will kill the entry level which will prevent new people from getting experience which will have downstream effects throughout entire industries.
It already started happening before LLM AI. Have you heard the joke that we were teaching our parents how to use printers and PCs with mouse and keyboard and now we have to do the same with our children? It’s really not a joke. We are the last generation that have seen it all evolving before our eyes, we know the fundamentals of each layer of abstraction the current technology is built upon. It was natural process for us to learn all of this and now suddenly we expect “fresh people” to grasp 50 years or so of progress in 5 or so years?
Interesting times ahead of us.
I’m full luddite on this. And fuck all of us.
But trust me Bro, AGI is around the corner. In the meantime have this new groundbreaking feature https://decrypt.co/314380/chatgpt-total-recall-openai-memory-upgrade /s
LLMs are so fundamentally different to AGI, it’s a wonder people believe that balderdash
So, AI gets to create problems, and actually capable people get to deal with the consequences. Yeah that sounds about right
And it’ll be used to suppress wages, because “you’re not making new stuff, just fixing some problems in existing code.” That you have to rewrite most of it is conveniently not counted.
That’s at least what was tried with movie writers.
Most programmers agree debugging can be harder than writing code, so basically the easy part is automated, but the more challenging and interesting parts, architecture and the debugging remain for programmers. Still it’s possible they’ll try to sell it to programmers as less work.
Are those researchers human or is this just an Ai that’s too lazy to do the work?
Well, now they’re just subverting expectations left and right, aren’t they!
As a very experienced python developer, I have tried using chatgpt for debugging and vibe coding multiple times and you just end up going in circles and never get to a working solution. It ends up being a lot faster just to do it yourself
Color me shocked.
the tool can’t replace the person or whatever
