Will AI replace programmers? 

No, I don't think AI is going to take our jobs.. unless you don't subscribe, at that point anything can happen 😉 That said I really hope it automate the boring and tedious stuff soon - it's crazy how much of my time at Google is wasted on things like syntax, API interfaces, manually fixing build rules, and permissions hell.

ChatGPT will replace programmers just like Scientific Calculators replaced Maths professors

In a lot of ways, chatgpt isn’t too different to stackoverflow in practical terms. It just speeds up the process of searching for code snippets + syntax. But you still need to know what you’re looking for and how to piece it all together, which is the real skill of a software developer.

It's good for writing formal emails and auto replies, formal letters like the office admin job, i think it can replace them easily

This video really brightened my day. As a software eng. student, I was getting worried my efforts would amount to nothing after I get out of school. Liked and subscribed!

Transformer (GPT) can memorize but not reason. Although the chatgpt has the finetuning and policy optimizatino modules, the reasoning part seems not solved. Thank you for your video, which serves as another solid evidence for the current issue of trasnformer-based models.

Thank you for giving me hope! Seeing all other RU-vidrs showcasing how gpt3 will replace programmers got me depressed

ChatGPT will most likely be great for boiler plate work but it's not going to replace devs just yet. However what people forget is that A.I doesn't learn slowly. I think though for boiler plate stuff this will be great for devs.

the worst part about chat gpt is that it will give you an answer as if it were correct, even if is completely wrong which will be missleading to beginners. I asked it to write a solution for a leetcode problem, and it wrote the brute force solution. I asked it to optimise it and it wrote some stuff that sounded correct (performing some pre-calculation) but was just completely wrong. So far i just use it to help document my code. I just say 'write the documentation for this:' then paste my code, and it will get it bang on every time.

Thanks for your videos! I got an oracle swe internship offer by learning from you!

If you explain to it what step it is missing or doing wrong, it will correct itself. While it will be confidently wrong to start, it's fairly trivial to teach it to fix its errors, if you know what to look for.

maybe not replace everyone since it needs to be debugged so often, but it can be used to replace coding mindless stuff which might lead to companies not needing to hire as many programmers

This video gave me a sense of relief, as I just recently started my software engineering journey ;) Thank you! Liked and Subscribed

you didnt ask it the most important questions: 1. what are your strengths and weaknesses 2. where do you see yourself in 5 years

The google meme at the end sums it up, though I don't think it's glorified. Google shows you a bunch of articles with fluff in it, distraction and ads. CHATGPT provides a clean straight forward response to your question. I think the ones that need to worry about CHATGPT is the search engine companies not necessarily the programmers. It will take time and I don't see it completely replacing google but I do think it will take a chunk from google profits.

You forgot one thing though, you can just tell it that it has made a mistake, and it will probably fix it. Just like an interviewer would probably tell the interviewee if they've made a mistake and ask them to try again. Also the first mistake you showed could also possibly be solved if you just resetted the conversation (thread) before giving it the modified question. So basically it's more of a semantics thing rather than ability.

Your videos really show that you are multi-talented! :)

Every one is freaking people out with their thumbnails and storytelling ...while you pointed out some positivity .Thanks.We all need A.I to be smarter ..so that we can be smarter.Also I watch your problem solving tutorials.They are great

I have similar experience when I was trying to code a game with hexa map in js, it failed to do its job and it seems to me it was easier to write it alone than to reverse engineering what it has done wrong.

Great explanation. Some people promote it as something like "Leetcode interview is dead". They seem to not understand how these interviews work.

Also, to put one more thing, in this era of cybersecurity concerns are we ready to rely on a product that is an outcome of an ever-learning algorithm. Even though this web crawler would pull the needed text it won't assure a vulnerability free code.

I'm curious to see how GPT4 will compare to this. It's supposed improve on the current GPT3 greatly but we won't know until it is released.

Your delivery at the end has given me the tech lead feeling.

A lot people forget that majority of people don't even like to install tools and setup an infrastructure for things to work let alone think about the problem to be solved for example to truly replace a software engineer ask it to build you a TV app that shows movies stored in cloud thru x link, or make me a webapp that is a clone for tiktok.. it will say it needs a software engineer for that if you start to break down the problems and look at code at this point you are a software engineer you are engineering a solution in software for a problem in this case making a TV app or whatever

1 senior engineer will now be able to do the work of 2-3 juniors plus himself in about the same amount of time, possibly less. AI may not immediately replace anyone but it will at least increase the already high barrier to entry for software engineering. People with iqs under 120 will find it near impossible to get into cs jobs very soon imo (within next decade). Same for blog writers/copywriters/data entry, law (imagine immediately analyzing every similar case ever and finding arguments in your favor), all kinds of fields where you need to analyze data in any form (radiologists or accountants for example) During the time of industrialzation, horse carriage workers could become car mechanics but for current desk jobs there simply isn't any immediate replacement I can think of AI isn't good enough yet to replace all these jobs immediately, but imagine 5-10 years in the future GPU costs will be a fifth or even lower than they are rn for the same amount of power, the models will have had 3-4 more years of training, you can already feed them custom data but there might be services to find reliable datasets as well (good business idea tbh) Google's LaMDA is apparently already better than chatGPT

I don’t think it will replace programming jobs but it will lower down salaries. As a writer, I remember when I got paid $2000 for an article then it went down to $1000 then to $300 then to sometimes $60, even at one point $20. That’s 25 years timeline. So I’d say you’ll see salaries for developers going down if software commoditizes work. Same effect on graphic design. Steve Jobs paid $100k for his next logo. It’s hard to get paid that much now for a logo. An accomplished designer I know got paid recently for $350. That’s already high. Some just pay $20

I am job hunting as I recently just graduated, and there are ton of software jobs available atm. So it's really not over yet.

Do you think the number of vacancies in AI will increase? And how much harder will chatgpt make finding a job for newbies?

Welp... I was thinking about self-teaching, joining a bootcamp, or going back to college to become a software engineer. Based on some of these comments though, I don't know how stable this industry is anymore :(

Companies will need only 1 or 2 programmers instead of 10, the rest of the work will be handled by AI. No, it won't replace everyone, but it will replace most of us. Keep in mind chatGPT is just a demo version and it is not optimized for any type of specific work.

You should make an updated video of gpt4 to compare how fast it improved

i've gotta say that was a neet transition to the sponsor

I bet at least one person is going to try to use ChatGPT to pass a technical interview. Maybe even to build their resume.

There are two camps of programmers. In one camp, they frantically hypothesize and worry about predicted destruction of their worth to employers, counting the days to their final doom. Some of them put in desperate efforts to thwart AI by feeding it improper/inefficient code. The other camp... it's hard to tell what their position is because everyone of them is laughing their butts off. - Paraphrased of a comment (that quoted an answer from Quora).

recently i authored some katas on code wars not very hard about 6kyu but unique and chat gpt gave completely wrong solutions for all of them. I think it has a huge data base of solutions and based on the question it returns the one that is closest to that question or combines some of them. Its not like its smart enough to write code. Still an amazing tool.

You are missing something . This AI is in beta stage and learning. This might get pretty hard in future to resist.

What a smooth transition into your ad 🤣

So when is the self programming AI release date?

Employer: System is not working! FIX IT CHATGPT! ChatGPT: Unfortunately the solution is not within my training data set, I would suggest hiring proffesional programmers to solve original complex problem solving task which requries immens power of the brain.

I learned to code because I want to build cool stuff, despite how crap they are, of course. 🤣 Well honestly, I never thought of entering this field for six figures or any form of security and prestige. So I can just ride this AI wave and find another way for myself to build cool and crappy stuff that might be useful for other people. 😁

Interesting topic. But I am not scared at all as a dev - they’ll be always a need for devs ;)

This version of AI will be improved in the future for sure like software applications changed. I still think AI is the future

I don't the longer I use it as Software Developer I find stack overflow still helpful ChatGPT is good for boiler plate but when I ask for something for complicated business logic task it fails me

Calculators and computers didn't replace all accountants but it did reduce the number of accountants. Also most of them re-skilled themselves because the rate of progress was slower. As we all know technology tends to have exponential growth, can you say the same for us. Will we have enough time to re-skill before becoming outdated or outmatched by another new technology.

I don't think you take into account; that this could advance even farther to where these accidents become less frequent. If chatbot manages to have a lower rate of accidents then human coders, employers will be more inclined to use it. One person managing it, would be able to the job of 10 programmers. It's' not about how scary it is, but whether or not I am useful enough to my company, to where I can't be easily replaced.

It works great for smaller precise queries

Great video man. ive been telling people this should be more exciting than scary. the opportunity here is insane, this will change businesses, and fuel start ups. I am starting a blog, just to see if i can get people to follow a blog written by an AI. Im sure this is going to be part of the next killer app. Also, super powerful for students. Its like the best learning assistant ever. i can ask it infinite stupid ass questions and it never gets annoyed, and its usually quite accurate.

I asked chatgpt to write a program to convert English date into nepali date and it didn't gave result but's already there. So in short chatgpt is just like calculator which are made for speeding up human tasks but only seems to know only things that it is designed and made for

This is what it currently can do though... what about in 5-10 years... definitely see this having massive consequences for society in the very near future. It will definitely improve and explode in utility as the applications grow. Eventually you have 10s of thousands of specially trained layers of AI for individual tasks / questions, permutations of these may also allow unique problem solving potentially. Will see though xD Scary stuff imo.

i’m just terrified of it for now since i’m not a senior level role

I think with this AI the standard for programmers will get higher. In fact in this day and age I guess it is inevitable with technology getting faster, stronger, and better everyday.

Please a design system video of Mastodon

You killed it by marketing your channel 👏 🙌 👌

I think it's only a matter of time, just as a.i learns and can decipher written/ spoken languages-- eventually it will do the same for coding / programming

Wait for GPT 4 coming out in few months

If you paste in the bad code, and tell chat GPT the error, it can fix it.

What AI difference and neural networks?

People mistake the current state of the AI with what it could be. It's not that "it can't do it" It is "it can't do it NOW".

Wirting the code is only part of the problem. You still need someone that can prompt it and know how to use the solutions it gives. Imagine "hiring" chatGPT and you don't know a thing about code. You might get some things done but you're not building a startup reliably with that. You need people who know how to build that infrastructure and test the code that is produced.

the segway in the end 🤣

Me who just started learning CS:👁👄👁

Will this tool change the design of tech interviews. Next version of chatgpt should be able to solve any leetcode problem pretty easily. How do you think this will affect interviewing? Maybe the grind leetcode philosophy is finally behind us

I'm never failing a technical interview again. Thanks bot

I’ve been a software dev for coming 5 years now, and I always said “this career is pretty much built for an ai, one day programmers are going to be obsolete, to ai”. Looks like that’s happening faster than I thought. Sure it’s not perfect yet.. but in a few years, it will be pretty damn good.

Come back to this video after 5 years and see where we all will be

I believe it just can help, not replaceable

Have you seen Alphacode though? It's way better than gpt3 at solving competitive programming problems

I’m working on a Django web application and I put all the info of the program and gave the files to ChatGPT The problem is an incorrect path but Chat just keeps telling me it’s an incorrect path not how to get the correct path ChatGPT can’t solve my error, only I/ my coworkers can

Happens when smartphones came out everybody was saying that they are going to replace computers and laptops

Chat gpt is a cool tool but, at least for now, it is no more useful than a search engine. It will provide an answer to an inquiry that is at least in the ballpark of being correct. It might take all our jobs soonish but not yet.

Neetcode: "Or, maybe my employer currently is working on an AI that will indeed replace us all..." Me: "Nah... they will close it in a year or so..."

People should understand here replacement doesn't means completely gulping all the jobs but reducing the workload and hence reducing the demand for humans, if there are 100 programmers required for a certain project, AI will reduce the need to only 10 or may be only 1 thus taking job of 90-99 people. Add the increasing population and monetary demands of everyone we are in crisis already.

Somehow I feel like all these code generator softwares will equivalent be just that, calculators to our accounting problems. It will be such that the generator that will do the heavy lifting of the writing the initial implementation, but just like every single intern that tries to push their changes, it needs to verified retroactively by humans. But on the other hand it will be a useful tool for developers as they wouldn't need to google or stackoverflow for solutions as often and get the initial boiler plate code set up pretty fast. And that's just the coder's part. The other parts of programing like wireframing, HLD and such ChatGPT or other AI generators wouldn't be allowed to touch. At least not this decade.

I just had a really funny argument with chatGPT: I was asking him how to make more complex movement physics for a character controller and yadda yadda. ChatGPT gave me a blatantly wrong code, so I told it what wasn't working and it made a fix for the code. The code was incorrect again, so I told chatGPT it was wrong again, and it fixed the code. After countless times I told chatGPT the correct answer and it the thing deadass went like: "Yes, you are correct! The code behaves like this now because..." 💀💀

Very true, but I think it will become much better (in performance) in let's say 5 years from now. Nevertheless, it can give a nice boilerplate code (far from perfect), just for start.

The problem with chatgpt is that the moment it encounters a novel prompt it utterly fails. Why? Because it’s a language model trying to predict what comes next, but it can’t come up with any new insight just spit out what it was trained on.

I'll use this knowledge for research purposes.

Sure, for now it's not quite reliable enough, but how long will take before it is? Plus, this was just a few tests done by 1 person.. And it's already surprisingly good, despite not passing those tests. For other people, it's passing their tests with nearly flying colors. I've found it can solve novel word-based math and logic problems, even ones I've come up with on the fly. And when it couldn't solve it, I gave it a method it could use to figure it out, as a teacher might, and then it could solve any similar problem with that logic! A lot of things come down to how you ask it, and whether you're willing to work with it on things it failed. And again, give this technology a year.. I remember how everyone said Wikipedia wasn't reliable enough, when that first came out, but it wasn't long before everyone was using it for everything. It's accuracy rate was acceptable to most people, most the time, and that was good enough. IMO, AI will not take very long at all, to reach it's "good enough" stage, it's already almost there..

it's like i would ask if cameras would replace artists. Of course not.

Will quality assurance be replaced?

This won't replace us specially for backend developer like think of it.

Nice plug

Chill guys! AI is just a tool like a search engine. You still need to understand what you are working with (all that software engineering "nonsense" like algorithms, data structures, and up to SOLID principles, architecture, and so on). We will just become less of "developers" looking for exact syntax and more of "engineers" working with concepts.

I'm sure A.I. would get enough never ending and misunderstanding request from clients

Apparently, they've hired programmers to teach it how to code and explain the solutions, honestly at first I thought we would be fine but it really does seem that the owners are in it for the money but they will make a lot of time and expensive college degrees meaningless. It seems that at this point if you don't feel like your job is at risk then you are coping, but what will happen when you you can't find work and can't afford that lifestyle that you worked so hard for. You'll be a highly skilled worker working some random job that overworks you for 40k a year. I think humans are becoming too reliant on technology to the point where it's not a tool but a solution to think for us, such a pity. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

Umm, its not always the all or nothing paradigm. Its the increased talent competition from here on out in the future. Lets say each business unit in a company has 4 coders. Even if ChatGPT can reduce 1 person/team that is a 25% job reduction worldwide. Based on GDP and startup index, the number of companies in the world are not going up by 25% per year which means the overall jobs will keep on reducing for a few years instead of increasing. Lets say it takes 10 years to reach back at a healthy job increase rate but that's assuming the AI doesnt become efficient enough to replace one more person per team. Again a 25% reduction. Its like playing catch-up every 10 year-period and losing.

I'm not sure but I think you can tell ChatGPT that it has made an error and it will change the code to fix it

just wait brotha, when chat gpt gets updated its gonna be very powerful

welp, we still need some1 who can verify the code

if you are a web developer, I would be worried! If you work on graphics engines, operating systems, distributed systems, etc... You have nothing to worry about!

just imagine this tool from now and 5-10 years. How incredible this bot can help human

As someone who is working in tech,only one thing can be said. If you are worried that AI will replace you,they will do so after quite some time (going and eating up other jobs before that). Tbh you would be moving on to doing something even better (maybe designing the AI itself/helping build its models/collect and clean data for it). But yeah, a lot of manual and "low effort" jobs are going to be affected. The real horrifying idea is that if there exists an AI which gets the capacity of reasoning, it will make humanity useless. AI is a dangerous thing, and its development should be regulated if you don't want human beings to be completely wiped out.

Chatgbt is not working guys ... What to do now???

That is really cool!.

Just make sure that by 3-5 years from now, when this not only has improved but has been refined into an enterprise-class product, that you're an engineer and not just a coder. AI will not be replacing senior-level engineers in the next couple of decades. Junior-level coders who only piece together snippets of boilerplate and simple logic... they won't all lose their jobs, but the demand will drop and compensation will be slimmer for new graduates.

ChatGPT can it really debug and find the issue

Bro at the start, I was like "That news reporter talking about two-sum. Hmm not bad" before I went "HOLD UP!!!" Too good.

I was really afraid the past few days Everyone was talking about how good chat gpt is and how it may potentially take away jobs I am still learning app dev and ds I felt a little better after this video .. but it's a matter of time before the chatGPT3 becomes better Idk ...

talk to the model davinci 003

To be a developer not just coding, it needs imagination, and ChatGPT has no that capability, so it can't replace and it will never replace developers
