I feel when we have truly intelligent machines, programming jobs will be gone. But AI’s like ChatGPT aren’t there yet. It’s just good at faking it - until it isn’t and fails silently.

Maybe it’s the lack of data - it’s difficult to model the world accurately with just words. Maybe it’s an architectural limitation that no amount of data can fix and we need new better algorithms.

Either way, given the state of its current output I don’t think it’s there yet.

Should AI actually reach such a level … I think everyone will be out of a job. Accountants, engineers, lawyers, even doctors will take a haircut. Programmers will just be a drop in the ocean of the jobless.
