[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Senior Python Developer. I cannot speak for anyone but myself. In my case and I repeat my case (meaning my experience) GitHub copilot has been spectacular. My productivity has increased significantly. I know everyone is asking for specifics. So let me give you specifics. I wrote code mostly functional style. I can write copilot to generate for me in this style. We have had a vacant position for 12 months. And we don't need to fill it because the person in that post pretty much does the same thing I do.

Does it mean AI is going to replace me? Maybe. But the question really is whether I should waste my time worrying about whether  AI will take over my job. I am just worried about learning whatever tools at my disposal.

I am just confused why people are pushing back so forcebly over something they have ZERO influence over. The amount of money being spent on AI is massive. Your congresspeople cannot stop it. You cannot stop it.

Everytime someone says something about AI someone jumps in and say I have used and it was useless. Therefore because it was useless for you last week it will be useless a year from now okay great lol.

Or every shortcomings of AI is so magnified and become subject of mockery

Hey you make decisions for yourself. If you think you are safe today and 10 years from now great for you. [/quote]

And to your point, AI is doing stuff for YOU a tech bro.  But to the people you talk to who aren’t in tech, AI isn’t doing anything for them.  AI is being built for the tech bros of which you are one.  The systems the rest of us use are complete crap.  Older than the hills technology. (Not really, but you understand the meaning).  The fact that portals at the doctors offices are horrible, the computers at the hospitals require a ton of wait time teachers have awful systems to record grading. All of those things would be a better use of money for more of us.  A robot to clean dishes would be awesome.  But that isn’t what tech is doing, tech is building for tech to keep money in the higher levels of tech.

Most of us are fighting it because we see exactly zero of this. It isn’t improving our lives and the more you all sap money to make things easier for you, the less money there will be for the rest of us who are out doing things to make society run. [/quote]
