Nope

Replace? Never. Lower the workload? Yes,maybe for boilerplate code.

In order to replace programmers product managers need to express clearly what they want the program to do.

JakenVeina ,

Yeah, you need a way to specify what you want with a high degree of both flexibility and specificity. We have a term for that in the industry, it’s called “writing code”.

“software developer says ai will not replace software developers” feels very John Henry

tbh that is vastly more reliable than “seller of hardware used to train AI models says AI will replace developers”

TL;DR: The answer is an astounding NO.

people look at this stuff as a yes or no and that’s a major misunderstanding.

I work in tech, and I can tell you 100% you could not just give a job to AI and call it a day.

I cannot even imagine this type of response generation ever being capable of that without developing some sort of true intelligence if for no other reason than to turn bad prompts by people who do not understand what they want or what is possible into functional projects.

that said, but I do believe is possible is that it makes like 5 to 10% of the job a little bit faster. programming is like 10 to 20% writing code and 80 to 90% understanding what that code should be and why it isn’t working that way yet.

Even the code you get from it is generally wrong but sometimes useful.

best case scenario I could see right now is not that it replaces jobs but that it makes people more effective, kind of like giving a framer a nail gun instead of a box of nails and a hammer except not that big of an efficiency gain.

ultimately this might mean you do the job with 8 people instead of 10, or something like that.

if it reduced the total number of jobs because it was a tool that made people more effective - did it take the job away?

Even if the AI was at the point if outputing exactly what you want correcly, decision makers would still need to be able to specify exactly what they want and need. “I want a website that pops” isn’t going to cut it.

I think the obvious answer is “Yes, some, but not all”.

It’s not going to totally replace human software developers anytime soon, but it certainly has the potential to increase productivity of senior developers and reduce demand for junior developers.
