[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid tried to use an AI to help with CompSci. Useless. She doesn't know how to ask the right questions. The AI spit out something that COULD have been right but wasn't. And she doesn't know enough to be able to tell the difference. It will be a long, long time before AI replaces any developers.

I can imagine some grunt work getting sped up but the extra QA/QC time will be a problem for a while. Possibly forever. [b]No chance anyone would load AI generated code into a family sedan, a microwave, or a spaceship.[/b] [/quote]
..or your pacemaker or your brain implant or your self-driving car (in future). Software is entering facets of life where it was unimaginable a few years back. With that comes the need for quality, reliability, security, accuracy, fault-tolerance etc etc. Anybody who talks about AI replacing CS haven't seen a multi-million line codebase, or a service that runs on a 10,000 node cluster, and the complexity they entail. There is a huge difference between solving a coding problem on Leetcode and running an enterprise app with 10,000 services. AI is going to help CS engineers to move up the value chain by taking a lot of repetitive or simple tasks, and this may cause some entry levels jobs to vanish. But AI replacing CS is so far-fetched that it is beyond comical. [/quote]
