Why do people say programmer will be replaced by AI?

[Anonymous No.16814937]

Who will write the AI that write the AI then?

[Anonymous No.16815229]

not AI directly, but AI will be so advanced that dumb fuck people will be able to do the work of programmers. technically the programmers will be replaced by AI
you can already see this trend in webdev

When given the ability to modify itself/write code, AI's will instantly be more intelligent then the smartest human and be able to create more programs dramatically faster. Thus, they will replace the programmer because instantly there will be something that does all the work in 1/100th of the time (probably less).

But that's not gonna happen for 20-30 years probably.

GIT can't even merge 3 branches without problem

do you realize how fucking far in the future this will happen?

[Anonymous No.16815660]

it takes a human with billions of neurons and trillions of synapses 4 years of training, 18+ years of development, hundreds is millions of years of evolution to write code, and most aren't even good at it

I know because modular programing and object oriented programming mean there are only so many combinations programmers can make to solve a problem. they are limited by their memories, but an AI can recall millions of functions to find a solution. This reduces the need for organizations full of programmers to only a couple that need to do reviews of what's going on.

Microsoft's Cognitive Services can distinguish different people within a photo. It can give you a general overview of what's happening in a single picture or video stream. It can tell you the sentiment of different sentences, and it can distinguish handwriting almost better then a human.

Don't get confused, AI is coming and it's going to hit fast and hard. Just because some other programs aren't great at the moment doesn't mean it isn't being worked on a lot by some pretty major companies.

This. Imagine a programmer with perfect memory who didn't need to Google every 10 minutes. That's a basic AI with the ability to program.

yes so? Pattern recognition benefits from parallell processing on big data sets

I fail to see how this has to do with AI for other things. For example , how does an AI know which page to connect different form buttons to without someone telling it to?

The problem is people come up with new frameworks that forces everyone else to update their software. Security, performance, new languages, how easy it is to read. These systems interact with other systems and now everyone needs programmers to write/rewrite business critical software.

If no one created new software, I would say you are right, it is possible.

Improved tools like powerful ides and cloud providers makes the demand for programmers rise slower. A lot of mid sized companies only need 10-20 programmers where 20 years ago they probably wouldve needed 50 or 100 for the same business value.

All of the best methods being taught are literally so you can write the function then be fired while still having your code to run flawlessly regardless of what program it's dropped into

you're falling into the trap of equating machine learning's current capabilities with general intelligence. it does well at what it's programmed to do and learns to be more efficient at one narrow task over time because of the algorithm, weight given to different factors being used etc. but a computer vision ai wouldn't know how to make toast if you put it on an iot toaster and we've yet to even develop the basic building blocks of that tech because all the money is in what you're currently seeing ML being used for: crunching huge datasets, CV, stat modeling.

Oh my, you’re one of those retards who have fallen for the machine learning meme. Machine learning has been dubbed as AI purely for marketing purposes. As the other anons have already explained the bullshit you’re describing doesn’t even come close to the challenge of ‘replacing programmers with AI’ in a very general sense. That’s not happening any time soon. It’s such a misleading thing that’s happened because you have large groups of people who think a general purpose AI is right around the corner because computers can identify a dog in a photo.

[Anonymous No.16816548]

>>16816484
It can do that already. Syntax, keywords,and general knowledge of a topic isn't any issue for any AI and you could create an AI that can talk in detail about how a programming language works pretty easily by training it on documentation text, especially the kind with explicit glossaries. The AI understanding semantics and being able to design new programs based on fluffy management or 4chan posters saying "hurr durr build me X" (as opposed to something more defined like "write a program in python that only outputs the string 'hello world' to the console") is something else entirely.
