Singularity might come within the next decade, but it will still be a long time before many jobs within a corporation are replaced. I am an OT manager, who drives our organization to ride the front wave of technology. It's insanely difficult to do, because big corporations are slow to adopt.

Especially when you start talking about automation of workflows that involve AI deciding what to do with your data, security is gonna drag that down endlessly.

That being said, id be staying away from any kind of software development. ChatGPT can write me a very well annotated PowerShell script in 30 seconds that used to take my guys a day to build. Once AI in that space really gets going, developers are gonna be sol.

yes but AIs like ChatGPT are not made with traditional coding languages. The software developers in the fields making and designing these AIs may flourish.

There will still need to be people with a computer science background to direct, understand, and apply not only the concepts but also the results too. There will still need to be specialists to enhance and refine them as well as all of the other supports for the AI.

imo developers aren't sol. they will just have to adapt - it should be like learning a new language.

Totally agree that we still need the idea people. How does it work, how does it integrate, etc. But companies won't need an agile team of 10 developers. Instead you will pay MSFT (or whomever) X amount of dollars for your code to be developed in minutes based on your requirements. I just think the # of developers required will drop 90% in 10 years.

Once again, I'm talking about the point when we get to true singularity. I can tell you using chatgpt for PowerShell scripts has already freed up significant time (obviously customization of the script is still required), but it's crazy to think what future interations of it will be able to do.

IMO, we probably still can't fully comprehend what AI will be in 5-10 years.
