How long will it be before AI takes our developer jobs

Depends. Al is a pretty good developer, but there is only the one of him, so he can't take all our jobs.

Just look at the typical sanity levels of some managers and customers. Most of them are not even able to articulate their wishes in a coherent fashion. What do you think will happen when they feed their nonsense to the AI?

But are the managers safe?

Replacing them probably would be easier and more effective and easier to accomplish.

I hope so. We don't really want them on the beach enjoying retirement with us, do we?

I think so; the AI will delegate to the managers; who will, etc.
No smart AI would want to deal with users / humans.

so the managers then become the developers using AI as a tool?

Only if AI stands for artificial insanity. Those good people are unable to say what they want, refuse to waste a thought on the consequences when they finally make up their minds and change their minds quicker than the average woman at a shoe sale.
They need someone who tells them what's wrong with their ideas, just like a mother explains things to a retarded child. Without that they will go overboard completely and probably cry for someone to come and fix that defective AI.

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

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.

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.

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.
Ya can't fix stupid.
