There is an error in this one. "Has" is not "ass".

I think computers can write programs in the future. And artificial intelligence will be better than a lot of programmers. we will say that "second industrial revolution".
I am afraid that we will dismissed our jobs.

That's not the near future.
Let it happen, perhaps it will finally solve the problem that 99% of all software is utter crap.

Yeah, it will make it an even 100%.

We programed the machines to take away people's jobs, now the machines will program themselves and take away our jobs.
When everything is automated, production of all the world's needs is as efficient as can be, then we can all live out lives of unfettered luxury, free from the daily toil of the working life.
The planet and the machines will provide, all we need do is consume.
Just need to get rid of 6 or 7 billion people first, but that's another story.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

They'll probably do it by designing self-organizing, self-replicating computation machines made mostly from the most common materials in the universe -- carbon, oxygen, hydrogen & nitrogen.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

"Imminent demise of the Internet predicted" - yet again.
I've been working as a programmer and a software engineer for 35 years, and I've heard that "in the future, computers were going to take away our jobs" in every one of those years. I grant you that program generators ("wizards") can now write much of the boilerplate involved in writing a program, but they are still far from being able to write a program from start to finish.
I personally suspect that programming is one of the harder tasks attempted by humans, and that computers will not be able to do it before they have passed the Turing test.

Pass the turing test? How long will that be?
Or we could use genetic programming now.
I think this is inevitable. It's only a question of when. I say 50 years (because I hope to die peacefully in my sleep before the bits hit the fan. Sucks for my (putative) grandchildren though.

AFAIK, genetic programming only works for relatively constrained domains. I doubt anyone has tried to write an inventory-control program using genetic programming.
My point is that while we have solved parts of the "automatic programming" problem, a complete solution is so far beyond our current capabilities that I expect it to come only when a computer can behave reason like a Human.

Yes but who writes the computer-programming AI?
|
|
|
|
|
As AI is a replica of human intelligence problem solving (code writing) is done by search as with humans...
So AI will need CP's QA to find all the answer - so we will have what to do even then...

Come on! Even a dumb machine (no AI) can do it better and faster than any software developer...
