LOL no.

Maybe for small blogs but premade templates and widgets don't really count when you're talking about real web applications. It's still where most of the dev work goes these days perhaps more than ever.

You'll be in great shape, though I wouldn't cling too tightly to the role of a web developer. There will be a lot of work for developers and technology people of all stripes.

One thing I keep highlighting are the places that need people to help build AI and push it forward, and that's not just in the hard algorithmic side. We're going to need to soothe itches in lots of places where these things can't scratch for years to come.

I'm going to be stuck making sure these systems can run, I think, at least for a good while.

It's fun to imagine a world where AI replaces all knowledge work but there are areas AI is going to itch that even it won't be able to scratch.

Not much more so than today's web applications, IMO. Most web calls end up pulling data or resources from several APIs as it is when you request a page.

My take on the multiple AI front is that these AI systems will be like apps themselves. Too specialized to dominate, but could potentially excel an area of expertise better than a generalized monolithic AI, if it is properly fine-tuned.

This is how I suspect AI in the next decade is going to play out. APIs interacting with each other to create hybrid generative systems.

So imagine you have an AI assistant, "Fred". You ask Fred how many calories are in a tonne of Lucky Charms. Fred uses an API call to a recommender AI that tells Fred who to ask to calculate that, and it's Wolfram. Fred makes an API call to Wolfram and parses the response back to you.

Rather than one company "dominating" I feel like there will be hundreds of these specialist AI systems.

Reply to if search engines all become chatbots, how will u find new websites? is that secretly the entire point!? by petermobeter

You know, you have the power to launch your own services. You have the power to spread word of your website. You have the power to not use Google for everything.

I don't know why some of you act so helpless. The Internet is still as open as it once was and a wide variety of hosting services are cheaper than ever.
