Recently i had a small talk with someone working in the banking sector . When that person acknowledged what i do for a living , she started to be a little bit passive-agressive .
Her:"You know someday , sooner than later , a guy like you is going to create something like artificial intelligence to replace all the devs in the world . Ha ha ha ! And your golden age is going to end . "
Me:"So you think this guy is going to create a smart program , software or platform , that will create software from what ? "
Her:" We will write the specs directly in the program and we will get the software after !"
Me:"And what if the specs are impossible, from logical point of view. "
Her:" Well there will be some rules and you will need to respect them !"
Me: "And people need to learn the logic of these rules?"
Her: " Yes a little bit of training!"
Me:" We already have that !"
Her: " We have ?! "
Me: " Is called .... CODING !"
Her: **silence **
(I remembered the burn from a comic -- forgot the name-- but GOD it felt good !)
Why some people hate us ?

    programming is more safe to stay if AI become common, than other jobs

    For the 5 years to come AI will mostly be used as a co-pilot for decision-making humans.
    Then, I don't know. Skynet maybe ?

    Just a thought...

    AI is supposedly replacing humans in coding. Will AI replace us in debugging its shitty code? Or will the AI create perfect code? Do morons even realize how AI works?

    I remember a line from the game Earth 2150:

    "There is a thin line between artificial intelligence and real stupidity"

    And one from Terry Pratchett "Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time"

    Whatever. Just smile politely, write a basic AI program to replace her (which is much wasier, BTW) and grab them popcorn and coffee.
