Lol - stupid engineers...
and in his case he said AI can currently write code snippets but nothing more than that safely, but probably could in the future.
The coders at work use it for low-level stuff, but it is advancing fast. At some point, the average coder won't be able to add value, only the good coders, and then, they will train the AI and it will squeeze them out too. For now though, a lot of admin jobs are disappearing.
One of my colleagues has a daughter in a publishing house, and the amount of AI-generated stories that are coming in as "original" is immense. She is trying to get out of it.
I do some things because it's fun and nothing will stop me
Me too. But at some point, I won't be able to feed my family.
Have you managed to get a breather?
After these comments. It is 1am :)
Do the AI directors submitting the AI generated stories get butthurt when their "amazing original" ideas get rejected? :D
I'm kind of scared of the state of the self-publishing places, some of the stuff that was there in the scant handful of times I've looked kind of made it very hard to find anything that might actually be good and that was pre-AI-being-popular
It was kind of why I asked how much of your job could be done with AI eventually.
Though ideally well before it starts to get to that point we'll have nicely sidestepped into something better :)
