My Opinion on Whether AI Will Take Our Jobs as Developers

There have been significant concerns among software developers on what the future of software development holds.

The rise of various AI programs such as ChatGPT, Google Bard, Google Duet, Google Gemini, Amazon CodeWhisper and GitHub Copilot has revolutionized how developers write code. These programs have increased concerns on whether AI will replace programmers in the future.  

The field of programming is undergoing a significant transformation with the rise of AI and no-code websites. Undoubtedly, as these technologies continue to evolve, they will revolutionize the game.

I cannot help but think about the looming shadow of AI and it's potential impact on our careers. Will robots steal our jobs, leaving us jobless and obsolete? Or will they become our collaborators, empowering us to reach new heights of productivity?

I believe that the future lies somewhere in between AI and Programmers. Current AI programs are not fully developed to take developers jobs. Sure, they can handle repetitive tasks and generate basic code, but true creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking remain firmly in a human aspect.

These models are largely trained with pre-existing data and thus their knowledge is restricted to what we already know. For such reasons, AI Programs cannot create new knowledge or invent something new. 

However, they can help empower developers code better and more efficiently. Existing AI programs such as GitHub Copilot are highly effective in helping debug programs, complete code and enhance code optimization.

AI has the potential to automate repetitive and mundane programming tasks, enabling programmers to focus on more creative and complex problem-solving. Thus, the only person that can steal our jobs is a programmer who has mastered the art of using AI programs to enhance their productivity.

By automating tedious tasks and generating code snippets, AI makes developers work faster and more effectively. This means that developers can complete their projects faster with aid of AI. Such increased efficiency will with no doubt increase competition for the available jobs.

Super Programmers who will be powered by AI will thus be better positioned to compete for the jobs. Thus, as AI takes over routine tasks, programmers will need to adapt and embrace new roles that involve overseeing AI systems, designing complex algorithms, and applying their expertise to tackle challenging problems.

Conclusion

The future of programming might look scary but we all possess the tools required to navigate this intricate future. With aid of AI, developers can maximize their efficiency and earnings and help design AI systems.

We need to embrace this change, learning to leverage AI's power while honing our unique human strengths. Only then can we thrive in this new era of collaboration between man and machine.

Developers are to blame. Most of them automate themselves out of the workplace. They are being replaced by their own creations! 😭

AI is surely developing at a very faster rate. An article from CBC indicates More than one-third (37%) of business leaders say AI replaced workers in 2023.
