This is probably AI generated code that is helping a developer though, right? Like it will complete a line or a function based on analyzing the existing code in the project. It's not replacing a developer, it's helping a developer.

If a company had an AI product that could replace developers, it would sell that product. To my knowledge, nobody has that. AI simply helps developers write code.

They're not slashing anything significantly without repealing the Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. This law put government spending on automated increases and stripped the president of his authority to refuse spending appropriated funds (impoundment).

Do you think Trump has any interest in seriously cutting government spending?

I mean I just gave you multiple examples, so have others. AI is being used in data analysis, particularly image recognition. Industries are using it for surveying and maintenance, the military is using it to autonomously pilot drones.
A job that used to require a team with a helicopter pilot, cameraman and however many data techs is now being automated by a drone and some AI

I asked you some questions related to the Google AI figure and you don't answer. Seems weird.

Ok, we have some uses in the military. I'm left wondering how AI is something that is replacing jobs. And you can't even respond to any critical questions about AI and software development.

AI will never replace developers. It'll just make their worker faster/more efficient.

Lots of people have such interests. Vested interests prevent it from happening.

can you name an industry in which helpful tools showed up and most of the workforce was retained long term? i can't.

lumberjacks went from axes to chainsaws, an like that about 3/4 of them weren't needed.

seamstresses got sowing machines, poof 3/4 of the labor pool gone.

farmers got tractors, bought out their neighbors, and farmed 3x more land as people moved to cities.

accountants got quickbooks, and boom less accountants. drafters got cad programs, far less drafters.

if something is helping you moderately today its going to improve and help you significantly tomorrow. in a short time far less of whatever u do is needed in terms of humans. thats one thing about automation that hasnt changed in 200 years.

Cards put most horses out of business too.

This is an AI thread now though.
