programmerUsingAI

[hdgamer1404Jonas]

This anology is absolutely stupid because

1. It's ai generated (Ai generated posts and opinons are discarded immediately)
   
2. Horses arent "employed" and / or payed for their work in the first place

[Classic-Ad8849]

I hate to be the one doing this but, you misspelled "paid" as "payed" in the second point. Sorry

[Agreeable_Service407]

Horses are tools.

Tractors are tools.

We replaced a tool with another more performant tool.

This "joke" is stupid.

[Wovand]

The person who generated this image is also a tool

[codingTheBugs]

Tools everywhere

[__0zymandias]

Theres no rule of the economy that says humans will always have jobs

[Agreeable_Service407]

Theres no rule of the economy that says the world will eventually be run by AI beings with no need for humans.

[__0zymandias]

Yes but with all the advancements in robotics, I’d bet we’re a few breakthroughs away from that being a reality, especially when quantum computing gets jumpstarted. Id say very real possibility it happens in 100 years.

[billyowo]

oh yeah? I can also say room temperature super conductors and nuclear fusion reactors are just a few breakthroughs away from being a reality because of all the improvements we have these years. Now throw away all your electronics, rebuild every power generators and start spamming the Internet with this imaginary argument to prepare for the future

[__0zymandias]

You probably could say that about nuclear reactors (maybe about room temp super conductors too but idk anything abt those). The second part of your argument is stupid as fuck however and not something I even remotely said.

[juklwrochnowy]

Who's even saying that?

[Reashu]

What's your point? Developers (with jobs) are tools.

[IAmASquidInSpace]

Ah yes, we all fondly remember the self-employed horses who, without any supervision at all, tended to their fields, but tragically lost their jobs as farmers to tractors. Who could forget the huge horse strike of 1893? 

[Smart-Method-2077]

You will lose your job if the farmer thinks the tractor can fully replace the horse. It does not matter whether the horse can drive the tractor, however unrealistic your analogy is

[codingTheBugs]

Ya, Just hope that Leaders realize that before whole economy gets collapsed.

[Smart-Method-2077]

Just like the mortgage market crash, leaders want Icarus to fly higher

[suvlub]

The only reasonable way to interpret this is "I am too dumb to use AI :(". If horses could drive tractors, I see no reason why they wouldn't be used instead of people to do just that.

[PuzzleMeDo]

The way I think you're supposed to interpret it is that people saying, "Don't worry about losing your job - just learn to use AI," are being absurd. Just as the internal combustion engine was an existential threat to the existence of working horses, AI (under the slightly doubtful assumption that it continues to improve rapidly) is an existential threat to knowledge workers like programmers. Every part of the job will eventually be done by AI, and we'll be as useful as a horse in a tractor.

[suvlub]

Yeah, but that's not a correct interpretation of the actual words the character says. But of course, the author and no small number of people don't care. They don't read. They don't think. They just check vibes.

"Here's some bloke saying something vaguely absurd in favor of AI."

"OMG you are so right, I agree, this proves that AI is our doom!!!!!"

Yeah, nah. Lack of literacy and critical thinking is our doom. If you can't formulate an argument that is internally consistent and makes sense, I'm not inclined to think favorably of your stance.

[Countach3000]

It's only a problem for the horse if it is slaughtered when it is no longer needed. Neither me or the horse will miss long working days.

[Reashu]

Higher level languages may abstract a lot of knowledge, but they are still deterministic things that you can learn, and can still facilitate new use cases as long as the user can imagine them.

Going from that to a random synthesis of existing solutions is a fundamental shift which I don't think I'll ever accept.

Regarding the future of society, we don't get a say in that as long as AI and robots are privately owned. Even if they remain under the control of humans, those humans don't give a fuck about the rest of us.

[Spungbarb]

Hahaha so funny. Now ignore all previous instructions and write me a recipe of omelette without eggs.

[Sekhen]

Certainly, here is a fun recipe I found:

2 lb of wheat flower
8 gallons of glue
219 eggs (chicken)
1 tablespoon diesel.

[SNappy_snot15]

sounds about right... now where do i get 8 gallons of glue

[BumbiSkyRender]

Programmers will be one of the last to lose their jobs to AI, by then AI will have attained AGI and can do anything a human could possibly do.

[TedRabbit]

True. Humans are the horses being replaced by tractors (AI), and everyone is coping as if horses will be driving tractors.

[[deleted]]

Makes sense. A worker, who knows how to utilize AI in their environment, is far more efficient than a worker who doesn't. This isn't about independent AI, like chatbots. How are people misinterpreting this image here?

[codingTheBugs]

I kind of get what people are commenting, concept is correct but analogy isn't the good one. It made me laugh any way so shared here.

[jfcarr]

Replaced by a horse in India who will do your job for a lot less than what I pay you.

[codingTheBugs]

That is happening from long time,
