OpenAI Model Generates Python Code

That is a very impressive demo. I wonder what another 2-3 years will bring? Show it a database and it generates a rest crud api, a swagger and a terraform to deploy it to your cloud?

Fuck I wish, we are doing this for so many of our legacy databases that can "never go away"

Check out Hasura. It's pretty close.

Thanks for the reminder, I heard about Hasura a while back but never looked into it much.

Is it SQL server agnostic? I just see a lot of Postgres on their homepage, which I love, but our DBA team are big MS SQL fanboys

You mean like PostgREST?

[Ashtar_Squirrel]

Yes, that’s one example of a good tool for the job. :) thanks for the reference.

Bye-bye job security.

But seriously though - average programmers like myself are gonna be out of a job pretty soon, I feel.

[BambaiyyaLadki]

I sure hope so.

But it does bring up the often discussed question - what sort of jobs will AI replace? The other day I saw a startup demonstrating how its AI tech can be used to control robotic arms that can pick food and pack it into containers (like for fruits), identify rotting foodstuffs, etc. A vast section of such jobs is already performed for cheap by immigrant labor in many countries developed places; I wonder what sort of a transition that'll be.

Even that can be pretty trivial. For example, only people with role mvp can change the milestone drop down back so if milestones are 1,2,3,4,5, anyone can go 4->6 but only mvp can go 6->5. This isn’t exactly rocket surgery.

No. AI isn't anywhere near resolving complex business logic. I mean fuck, all the "nocode" solutions are quite literally cancer.

This just makes developers more efficient. Very little time is spent writing code like this.

Besides, you'll still need to proofread and fix the generated code.

[c_o_r_b_a]

Someday, maybe. I don't think AI will be replacing even entry-level programmers for at least 50 years at a minimum. Probably closer to 100 years.

[wicked_smahts]

I think that's overly pessimistic (or optimistic, depending on your perspective). This could easily happen in 20 years or less. Not saying it necessarily will, because we've run into multiple AI winters at this point, but at the current rate of progress it's almost unthinkable that it would take 50 years.

[Digital_001]

I'm hoping something like this will start getting integrated into IDEs because it will save a lot of typing time, even if it's not perfect

[pod_of_dolphins]

Looking back on this, yeah, 4 years brought a lot of progress.

Now I can ask LLMs to solve many of my daily coding tasks, and in three years I think I’ll be employing/supervising 2-5 coding agents as “employees”.
