Who is this guy? Some CEO ? Isn’t it more cost effective to replace him with ai?
What’s weird is he’s the ceo of replit.
Replit’s product is a website where you can write a snippet of code and run it without having to install anything. An activity that human developers would do to test out something.
So if his prediction comes true, his product will lose all value.
Maybe his expectation is that companies will buy his product because people will have to feed the AI-generated code into it to test it, instead of having humans manually review everything. Basically telling people to create a problem so he can sell his solution.
There is no AI products to replace CEOs, currently?
Literally any chatbot, probably
Like AI generated stories or art you’re going to need someone to edit them.
Writing code is easier than understanding and reviewing another’s code. There is good reason code reviewers aren’t the interns and new hires.
My question others is, why would you want to turn into a code reviewer for AI code? It’s a shitload harder. And if the goal is anything but a weekend project, you damn well better be understanding and reviewing it critically, otherwise one is shitting up the code base and forcing others to clean up your mess.
Coding is totally obselete, bro. AI can totally write all the code, trust me bro. You just gotta know how to tell it what code to write, like learn some keywords and stuff, bro. Like, as long as you check how it produces looping mechanisms and tell it when it should use polymorphism and stuff, it’ll totally do all the work bro. You don’t need to know how to code, just the right sequence of keywords and commands so the AI can write all the code.
The idea of LLMs putting coders out of work at a large scale seems inherently self-defeating.
The LLMs needed to ingest a massive volume of code to get to their current level of proficiency. What will happen if they put all the coders out of work and Stack Overflow is down to just a small number of hobbyists? Will the LLMs just stop advancing?
I’m sure Sam Altman would say they are just about to have reasoning capabilities that will allow them to improve. But Sam Altman is not credible.
It’s sadly already happening in regards to stack.
Outdated and no source…
As a coder, the majority of my job isn’t writing code. It’s translating the bullshit management says and the broken specs we’re given into what they both actually want, not what they said. There is never going to be an AI that fixes that
We will find out just how good AI is with coding in a few months when it replaces the SSA’s, mostly, COBOL based system.
My guess? Catastrophic.
And instead of going back, they’ll say some kid deleted the old stuff after copying it into the new system.
Waiting for AI to take over CEO positions because they do nothing and you can replace them with a series of shell scripts.
That’s a more viable solution than replacing most software engineers, honestly.
Someone has pointed out it would be lot easier for AI to replace a CEO then a developer.

Lol, yeah. Keep paying us developers to write that philosopher stone. For writing general AI my rate is 100x because it’s magic you can’t understand without being able to write code.

We are all so fucked.
The main issue I’ve encountered is with troubleshooting. Initially, working with cursor was smooth when dealing with a single file and script project. However, as I tried to extend it to handle dependencies like a typical project, the code generation began to spiral out of control, resembling a cancerous growth that keeps producing more and more code. This problem intensified when I started interacting with multiple libraries, making the situation even more chaotic. It must be extra directed to stay on track and even if it tends to always create extra.
But what is interesting with those company CEO is that they still have developers. How come? If AI will replace them you don’t need any. Actions vs words
Listening to this guy talk shit is a waste of time
I predict that this guy is a moron.
Oh shit, my prediction already came true!?
