Will AI steal their jobs? 70% of professional programmers don’t see artificial intelligence as a threat to their work.

If your job can be replaced with GPT, you had a bullshit job to begin with.

What so many people don't understand is that writing code is only a small part of the job. Figuring out what code to write is where most of the effort goes. That, and massaging the egos of management/the C-suite if you're a senior.

This one's funny to me, because the people who WILL try to replace you with GPT don't care if they CAN replace you with GPT. They just will.

Look at how it's haphazardly shoved into everything for no reason whatsoever already.

Business fails, next business pops up.

Yep! And we're in the big tech era, so it can also be:

Business fails to produce any value and uses it's influence to prevent the next business from popping up.

Business without value has influence?

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes.

Google, Microsoft, Netflix, Amazon. None would still be business after recent decisions, if not for their market dominating capital size.

That is, their recent decisions provide no value to anyone else, and are made solely because they can, due to their size and anti-capitalist practices they have been allowed to get away with.
