      Why would your boss pay you when you don’t even do the work or posses the skills? Sounds like the middleman will get cut once the person paying for the work to be done realizes that they don’t have to pay a person for the work to get done

        Sounds like someone doesn’t understand how much work goes into getting a usable work product out of AI output. Fuck, I can’t even get the stupid fucking things to not make up shit constantly, and have to police the output to make sure it doesn’t decide to delete my whole directory or something.

        Why would your boss pay you when you don’t even do the work or posses the skills?

        Unironically the exact mentality stupid owners have wrt AI. But sure, coders can be replaced by a stochastic parrot that is more likely to give you advice on how to bathe with a toaster than accurately solve your problem in a way that doesn’t leave you massively exposed.

        AI isn’t accountable, and the human now becomes the “editor”

        Bosses are still paying because developers are still needed. AI at this point augments writers into editors, since it’s way faster to edit for 30m than to write for 2h. Developers aren’t going anywhere at this rate

          IBM lied. Machines are accountable by simply not using them if they are an encumbrance, and then you hold the person(s) who decided to apply those machines accountable. If more money, time, and/or effort is expended to have a machine produce an output and also have a human alter that output than would be expended to simply have a human do everything, then simply choose the latter.

        Just like fossil fuels. Nobody appreciates how to engineer new plastic, they always just bring up the costs and damages that the industry creates. Pitiful under-evolved minds, not practicing dominance or seizing the opportunity for power when it is more readily available for the taking than ever before. There’s literally no downsides to mass extinction events, as long as you and your family survive.
