If AI can do the coding, those of us who aren't programmers don't need you anymore. We can just tell the AI what we want.

Luckily for real programmers, AI's not actually very good at generating quality code. It generates the equivalent of Ali Baba code: it lasts for one week and then breaks.

This is going to be the future of programming: low-paid AI clerks to generate the initial software, and then the highly paid programmers who fix all the broken parts.

Yes. The problem is there is a huge invisible gap between "looks like it works" and "actually works", and everything that entails, like security and scaling beyond a couple users. Non-programmers and inexperienced ones will have trouble with those gaps. Welcome to our slop filled future.

It's been here since it's inception. The more the market grew and the more computing became widespread, the greater the number of ravenous sociopaths with other people's money got involved. This is just another version of Rome burning. This is the terminal acceleration phase. The lunatics are running everything to the ground and the few sane people left are labeled the same way they always had been. The useful idiots are just thinking they're so much smarter. Noone asked if it is wise or not, they are thinking they can outrun the treadmill. Just add water and LLM, it's so much fun for the whole family.
