Exactly. I'm programer also. Being in the industry for 15 years and this advancement are scaring me. I was making same points you are making to people here on Reddit and in office. Barely nobody is concerned. It's freaky.

Look at cscarrierquestions somebody made argument about being concerned about the future with GitHub copilot being out and everybody was basically saying copilot is gimmick and coding is much harder.

But reality is that copilot is amazing and coding is not so hard.

It look like, programmers are used to be unreplaceable and expensive, not saying praised how smart they are. And now they cannot comprehend they are going to be replaced IN 5 YRARS if current progress continues.

Or majority of humans are programmed to downplay AI progress, so we serve as ideal AGI bootloader. Don't know what we are in this sub then. 😀

Do you think you'd be able to take over the work of a good number of your colleagues with the help of AI in 5 years? That's all it takes for massive unemployment to happen. AI doesn't need to be able to do a job to replace jobs, just help a few people do the jobs of many.

There were neural networks hype in 70s, 80, until middle of 90s. They failed. Then we had 4GL languages which basically didn't deliver new value, stupid things like UML, SOA, BPEL, entity modeling, ... which basically just shifted complexity to higher layers and just create another layer of complexity in software systems.

Now we have no-code platforms which seems quite limited.

Codex is game changer. You can feel it when you use it.

Oooh, never heard that one before!
