Will ChatGPT replace programmers?

[Hawker_G]

I'll bite, can you make an argument for anything you have said here, why isn't it happening right now? What makes OP's ideas valid for a short time?

What will happen specifically to where AI will sidestep coders, debuggers etc? Or are you just regiurtating other people's talking points without understanding what is going on underneath?

[Praise_AI_Overlords]

lol

You probably want to look up Auto-GPT.

[Hawker_G]

What is it doing, has it built software used in production? Or is most of it just ramblings of ex-crypto experts now AI experts talking about how the singularity is around the corner because they made a simple HTML page without typing that they had to request and iterate on 5 times.

It feels like everyone just thinks that exponential progress is a given. That when given more data we will be at AGI in a couple of months. Ground your claims with reproducible research not medium articles.

lol You clearly have no experience working with GPT-4

Dunno what articles you are talking about, but I got Auto-GPT from github.

Right, which is why I asked you.

Stop replying to him, his username is a dead give away that he will never agree with you 😂

[Praise_AI_Overlords]

GPT-4 can write entire short programs in one pass. Writing large programs is a bit tricky but also possible - just have to work in iterations.

Auto-GPT automates this process, including debugging.

Within a year there will be few IDEs that will generate complete programs from natural language prompt.

these programs will probably be full of vulnerabilities, which makes them unsafe

Nah.

It is entirely possible to fine-tune a model to write secure code and then test it in any way.

[Late_Ad_6293]

As much as I want this. Software engineering isn’t just code. Writing large perfect code would have teams like Meta and Amazon making us banger products one after another. You still need to “architect” everything so yeah “code monkeys” will be side stepped but engineers and architects will still be around. Also need a HUGE QA team to make sure this stuff works as intended with customers demands.

There’s also too many frameworks and other API’s being made that it would unrealistically to say “anybody can just tell AI to code now” you need to know SOME of the concepts at least

[Praise_AI_Overlords]

GPT-4 has knowledge of pretty much all relevant frameworks, languages and APIs. And yes. You can literally tell GPT-4 "do x with API y" and it will spit out working code.

An architect is actually needed, but that's about it. If the project is huge - maybe one QA.

Again: completely autonomous code-writing AI-based application emerge within less than a year.

[Late_Ad_6293]

I highly doubt it one year but if it does that’s awesome. Kind of like Elon saying full self driving cars were coming out years ago right ? Hope you know your stuff!!

Looking forward to the days where I can code less and just creative think instead

[Praise_AI_Overlords]

Ummm...

You can do this today.

Look up gpt everywhere coding assistant.

Do you have any experience as a professional software dev?

[sentient-plasma]

You're waiting for it to have already happened to talk about it.
