Funny enough that's what I was thinking last night while watching this:
Will Artificial Intelligence Take Over The World? - YouTube
It's a "Thoughty2" video, and while the channel has gone a bit down hill of late, this one did catch my eye.
He's trying to be a bit of a dramatic doom bringer, but he does bring up some interesting points, and yes that was exactly what I was thinking.
which to be fair is what most folks are saying on the subject too.
It's not that AI is inherently dangerous, or is going to snap up all our jobs, it's that WE, the HUMAN RACE are the ones that are designing it, in our image, and WE ARE the dangerous ones.
SO ultimately, it's not that AI will take our jobs, it's the people who will be designing it that want to take our jobs away from us, and if you think about the economics behind business, well how much more money would be available to give out to the fat cats as "Performance Bonuses" if they didn't have a work force that needed paying.
Ultimately someone will design an AI system, that will take software developers jobs, because they will see a way to use it to increase their own net worth.
Just sayin

And just as if there was some grander design for me.... I opened my next email newsletter, and here's one of the main articles:
Here are some of the ways experts think AI might screw with us in the next five years - The Verge
YIKES!!!!

I also had my share. Having to work in such places is like hell and their products usually look like that. By now I tend to walk out of job interviews as soon as I get that impression. So yes, let them try their luck with AI. I wonder who they want to blame then for the results.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

They will do the same thing we do, ignore what was asked for and do it the way we want.

When they can solve and explain the answers to CCC, then I'll take notice.

I'll be happy if there'll be any form of intelligence at all

I don't know about you, but I use my brain in my job so no AI will ever take over my job.
And I'm having deja vu about your post.

I keep using the same argument all the time: Given how easy it is for all computers I've ever used to fail miserably just trying to keep themselves up to date without my help, I'm not too worried about them taking over anything.

AI is a myth if you ask me. It is impossible.

Let's let AI start in the QA forum... If he doesn't give up after that we'll promote him.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

Not because of AI but because some developers built a great tool.

Agreed!  I guess an AI based tool wouldn't have needed my help at all!

Now you make us curious what tool she used !
But of course, being an integer person, you can not mention that here as that would be considered as spamming

What you are describing is similar to what existed in the 80s, an entire industry. It was called Computer Aided Design (CAD). It was supposed to replace programmers then also.
Yet we are still here plodding away now.

First things first!
AI will take over the various forums - even The Lounge - so that when they make their final move we'll not get any warning.

I think it depends on what you develop. For some it will be quicker than others.

AI tells me about Fowl whenever the country of Turkey is mentioned. Given the current state, I'd say it may take us some generations before we develop a basic AI, capable of basic tasks as surviving and foraging.

Really don't know. However I believe some of my collegues could be replaced by toasters.

I first read that as "some of my colleagues could be replaced by hamsters."
Come to think of it, that works just as well.
