Reply to comment by Stealthychicken85 in AI will not replace software developers, It will just drastically reduce the number of them. by masterile

No I get that. Greater technology will always reduce the amount of people that can be employed in that industry. Every field works that way. That’s not a direct similarity between those two industries in particular. Which is what I was referring to. Those two fields in particular don’t have all that much in common. So using one to predict the full outcome of the other is silly.

I was not using the analogy with farming as basis to make a prediction. I used it as a way of showing other historical case in which technology brought about a drastical reduction of labor in a given industry.

funny how you didn’t mention the industrial revolution at all to make your point. we’re in a digital revolution. the entire landscape of things will change so drastically as to be unrecognizable from what it was.
