It’s like being worried people won’t be able to walk once cars become prevalent

AI code is only good up until the context window, it often fails to follow good practices, struggles to look up documentation, can’t piece together services in a larger codebase, constantly introduces security issues, the list is endless even with MCP

Ehh, 50/50 it’s definitely gonna create a golden age for a little while maybe 5 years while it cures all diseases and optimizes our shit and calls us all cabs to drive us home from the bar. However that’s all gonna go to shit when nobody makes any money at jobs anymore and then somebody needs to figure out universal basic income so people can keep buying stuff and the world goes on. So yeah, really good, then really bad, and then same shit as usual just a new normal.

AI didn’t take jobs away from programmers but it didn allow for a lot of companies to do a bit more with the same workforce.

There’s no way Ai could deal with the emotions and people Computer Science folks deal with on the daily basis

and if you think of the future, ai agents are more likely to be doing the coding

Ai can write code better than junior software engineers tho

I mean as powerful as ai is, not everyone is going to be using and people soon get bored of it

AI code cannot be claimed as intellectual property, cant be reliably validated, and in its current state struggles with many types of coding problems. The last part will improve but the first two statements fundamentally cant with current approaches to AI. For every AI programmer a company would employ it will take a human working full time to validate and fix any errors or security issues in AI code and even then the company doesnt own it.

Imagine how much money microsoft would lose if they didnt own the copyright for windows 11.

It’s a bubble sure, but a big ever growing bubble. In its current LLM inference stage it sucks at making actual production code without a competent developer. But it can still do some junior/intern level work.

On top of that, these people are building businesses on GPL code that's just been regurgitated back out of the algorithm. I'm not a huge fan of the GPL, but this is a blatant disregard of licensure if they don't release their code. So besides any other dubious parts of the idea of holding AI generated code as intellectual property, it will all come crashing down. Weirdly, AI might be the best thing to to ever happen to open source.

That’s the issue, entry level is gone because the senior devs can now use it to generate code, then do code reviews like they would do on a junior’s code.

We should just make ubi based on what you majored in
