Robots may soon replace most developers, programmers and com

This is most definitely a meme. There have been numerous startups in recent years that have claimed to automate software development, yet every single one I know of faded into obscurity.

The day software engineers and computer scientists get replaced, no human will ever have to work again unless we develop neural-computer interfaces that allow us to compete with AI.

Unless your definition of "soon" is like 50+ years from now then no. The best we're gonna see within the next few years is just some small scale automation, shortcuts for the more redundant aspects of coding something and whatnot, the kind of thing already included in most IDEs but better. Actually designing something without human intervention though, we're not anywhere near even the starting line for that kind of thing.

Even when we get there we're still going to need people to direct the AIs. I see it as just being another shift up in level, kind of like how almost nobody bothers writing code in assembly anymore (except for very specialized stuff) since they can use higher level languages and let their compiler do the work.

Do not forget what the "fi" stands for in "scifi". Go ask a programmer, not an author.

robots can't create art or ponder philosophy. STEM may fade by arts and business degrees will remain valuable.

I'll become a fucking luddite. I'm not working my ass off to get this fucking degree only to be replaced by robots

This is what we tell truck drivers and secretaries so they don't feel like it's us against them and cry about it.

So what are you are saying that the basics will be handled by the AI's, however the brain of it (the computer scientists), will handle them. Basically what we are doing now with every other computer at our disposal?

>>59181605
Yeah, pretty much. Also, even if we become more and more able to offload parts of the development process to automation, it just means that the complexity of what we are able to develop increases.

Once again the analogy with the shift from low to high level languages kind of holds here. Nowadays even a novice programmer can do things that decades ago would have required a skilled professional. But does that mean the professionals are out of business? No, because the programs they are making now are far more complex than what they made back then as well.

your codemonkey papers are worthless already

>names two things that are totally fucking useless

also, you're wrong, btw. procedural art, algorithmic composition. and for the navel-gazing, there are several examples online of pretentious bullshit generators using markov chains, they're pretty easy to write

I keep seeing this guy everywhere but don't know anything about him. Why does he wear the glasses? Can someone give me a quick rundown?
