I’m sure this won’t have any negative consequences in 5 to 10 years.

I honestly don't care.

I understand it isn't good for the old world pre-IA.

But I believe those jobs are gone for good. The world has changed, and you now need fewer people to accomplish the same tasks.

GenZ must learn something useful. Programming stuff that can be generated by an AI is not useful anymore

@pthenq1 @carnage4life you might care when there are a lot of unemployed young people in your society

The population is reducing. My son decided he would not have children, for example. And so on, millions.

The world (sadly) changed.

They have to do a job, but they will not have jobs that machines can do. It never worked before, and it will not work this time.

It is not. This is by design.

@pthenq1 @carnage4life From what I have seen, LLMs still aren’t very good at writing sophisticated algorithms. They require a lot of guidance. Then you need people who can debug and maintain the code that has been generated (even if that can also be done with the help of LLMs). Moreover, LLMs need training data and deteriorate very quickly when trained on their own output.

So yes, some of the jobs are gone (like the jobs for assembly programmers were gone with the advent of compilers). But compilers didn’t replace developers, they just made them more efficient.
