Jeff Atwood@gvwilson not exactly. It's another industrial revolution. Do we really want people doing mundane, repetitive work that machines can do? Isn't there any better kind of work we can offer them?
Hayduke@codinghorror @gvwilson I see your point about the inevitability but honestly, I get 90% of the joy in my job from things that could probably be automated and the way I do it is absolutely better than an AI would. Just like high quality hand built products are always better than the cheap robot made stuff. (1/2)
It’s like saying why would you ever want to make a piece of furniture by hand from solid wood when IKEA could make you a fiberboard version that is kinda shitty but you just stick it together with dowels.
So yes, fighting it is probably futile but also it’s sad and software is going to suck. (2/2)
