I saw another article today saying how companies are laying off tech workers because AI can do the same job. But no concrete examples… again. I figure they are laying people off so they can pay to chase the AI dream. Just mortgaging tomorrow to pay for today’s stock price increase. Am I wrong?
I suspect for a bunch of projects, AI going to make programming itself obsolete. If it comes pre-trained to use a number of libraries, protocols and databases, giving the thing a bunch of specifications and scenarios and let it do the actual work of doing bookkeeping or whatever becomes possible. Most managers would jump on the idea to throw extra hardware at a problem to run AI locally is it means shipping in half the time. As long as the problem to solve is generic enough and not too big. And those limits will go up quickly.
