The Future of Coding

Of course engineers and scientists who can create the AI will remain in demand. Coders further downstream maybe not. Not tomorrow. But the world she is changing.

There will always be the need for the people that understand code to help people that don't understand coding interact with these systems. It will also require underlying mathematical skills to explain to the AI what logical arguments you are making to draw conclusions and meaningful information from the underlying data.
 
As I understand it the AI systems are getting much better at understanding natural language. In some sense coders have functioned as translators.

But thats the thing - You can't be someone that doesn't understand data analytics and how data is managed/stored/filtered and speak to these AI interfaces. It will never work.

This is incorrect.

There will always be a need for people who understand and upgrade the system, but won't require the amount of coders we have today to run basic scripts that are here today.

I think you overestimate the knowledge of the individual corporate worker.

Maybe new types of trainings will be implemented but based on my experience it would be almost impossible for the average person to interact with an AI interface and dictate a script to be created and ran. There will be an endless QC process that will effectively make the total time to complete the same or even longer.

Think about how website design is today. Basically anyone can make a site now due to the software that has been created. But there will always be a place for the exceptional site designers.

The same is true here. Any body will be able to tell AI to perform basic functions.
 
It's hard to think of industries where AI wont have a big effect on the number and types of jobs. Maybe food services.

I'd have to see what your examples of basic functions looks like honesty because I have serious doubts people in the workforce will ever understand.

I was just playing around with the ChatGPT function this week and it wrote a better python script than many junior develops I've seen

I am not as well but I know enough about various languages like Python/VBA to understand code, write basic things and speak to it. I suspect you are the same way.

My point is I will one day be able to use this function rather than pay $100k to an entitled kid out of college to do the same thing

I think food services is the easiest job to be replaced by robots/AI.

Someone who thinks that has never actually cooked something real. Robots and AI are good but they're lightyears away from being able to tell if a batch of sourdough bread needs more or less flour by looking at it.

I do think we're about 20 years from there being 2 tiers of food.

Fastfood - I'd lump Applebees, etc. into that too. These will be mass produced mainly done with ordering apps and have as much automation as possible.

Boutique - This is all the restaurants still making stuff from scratch. THese will be premium services and you'll be paying for it. I think we're not that far from the diner atmosphere of the world dying and it makes me sad, but if that's the direction things are going it's the direction they're going. Inside boutique you'll have various tiers but I suspect all these to outprice fastfood by a lot.

I’ve been making my own food since 8 years old.
