When AI is going to replace us?
Hello everyone,
I have been playing with AI recently and found GPT-J-6B model.
It’s quite impressive. You can try it on the web.
I tried this as input…
# use GenServer and tick every 1000 ms and print "Hello"
and got this result
# use GenServer and tick every 1000 ms and print "Hello"
defmodule Hello do
use GenServer
def start_link do
GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, :start, [])
end
def init({} = state) do
{:ok, state}
end
def handle_info({:tick, _}, state) do
IO.puts "Hello"
{:noreply, state}
end
end
It’s not even made to generate code 
What do You think?!

When people will learn the restricted subset of English language, that will describe their needs in concise and precise way… Oh, wait…

Jokes aside, I’ve also been playing with Github Copilot for some time and as a tool It does some cool tricks. But to say that AI will eventually replace us is too far-fetched for my taste haha.
I imagine that AI (in the near future) will become a lot more present in our lives in the sense that will allow us to abstract even more some workflows (like calculators for mathematicians), but I still seriously doubt that it’ll replace everything and everyone like some like to say - well, at least for any job that requires introspection.
I’m still very curious about the future though, we are living in weird times

I think there are 2 hurdles which AI has to cross in order to replace us software developers, and both of which I view as impossible for the foreseeable future:
- Converting high-level business requirements to functioning code. This is perhaps the most difficult problem we have to face, IMO, and takes a lot of critical thinking and back-and-forth with stakeholders. Most of the time, stakeholders don’t even know How to articulate the product they want!
- Maintaining code. As the saying goes, “reading code is 10x harder than writing it the first time.” Once code is in production, it is inevitable that failures will occur and changes will need to be made, both to overcome scalability hurdles and expand the organization/business. Sure, AI can generate code, but maintenance and scalability are inevitable concerns, once it’s in production
Not that I think we WON’T get to a point where these 2 concerns are addressed - it’s a matter of “when” not “if.” I think it will be awhile, so we will likely see much more gradual change towards this future, including enhanced IDE capabilities and failure detection/prediction - both of which are only now in their infancy. So I think our jobs will be made easier by AI long before it renders us obsolete
