I’m not so much worried about the functionality of the code, but rather the maintainability. A lot of code was written, by a person long ago, copied together from forums online refactored by people, who didn’t understand it, but at least at some point someone understood it good enough to create it.
I find the idea worrisome, that we will deal with code no one ever understood, it’s just kind of there and seems to do what we want, and now you have to change it.
For me the other scary thing is the loss of control. We are already drowning in code everyone needs and noone understands and now we build systems, who can produce mountains of that.
But then again you could use it to explain code. We will so quickly become dependent on it.
That is certainly true. It just sucks, that so many people are scrambling for jobs and rich people get richer. There has to be a better way.
It’s not like that, it’s a game for kids, when there is a yellow car you say “yellow car!” and you can punch someone on the shoulder, but only the first who sees it can do it.
Do know this thing about the two yellows? There is pure yellow and mixed yellow, both look yellow.
But I mean many people have already lost their job because AI automated it away.
You only like it because you can hit people? You know that game?
Yellow is difficult, I think :D
Fucking pronouns

Someone still has to write the instructions. AI might not become a replacement for the engineer, but a more powerful compiler, that is still fed with code written by engineers.
Driving is for free people, walking is for slaves! /s
It is sadistic, kids are sadistic.
I believe this Vsauce video explains the phenomenon I mean (I have not watched the video and can’t right now).
