The problem, of course, is that there is no agreed-upon definition of what "Intelligence" even is. This seems to me to be a critical failure of people wanting to make an artificial version of it. "We've made Artificial Geflugenschurz!" "What's Geflugenschurz?" "That's not important. What's important is that we've made the artificial version of it!"

That's not how fads work, however.

The Degenerative AI craze started because barely-capable software was hyped as the Next Big Thing and then failed to deliver. This has happened before in AI. At least twice. The old failed technologies still exist. They're vastly improved over the versions that caused their "winters" (as their utter failure was termed). Nobody has rallied back to them. The same will happen with Degenerative AI.

Say the following like Rocky Balboa: "If you go forward 24 months from now, or some amount of time — I can’t exactly predict where it is — it’s possible that most developers are not coding."

"If you go the distance, two years, maybe even less, who knows? It ain't impossible that most of these coders, they ain't punching no more keys. Mark my words!"

Say the following like John Wick: "If you go forward 24 months from now, or some amount of time — I can’t exactly predict where it is — it’s possible that most developers are not coding."

"Two years, maybe less. Time's a funny thing. But in that span, coders? They might be a dying breed."

Say the following like Skeletor: "If you go forward 24 months from now, or some amount of time — I can’t exactly predict where it is — it’s possible that most developers are not coding."

"If you go forward 24 months from now, or some amount of time — I can't exactly predict where it is — it's possible that most developers are not coding."

OK, not gonna lie, that last one had me giggling.

Sadly there ain't no justice. 😕

Indeed. The single largest job of a CEO is bullshitting. ChatGPT and other Degenerative AI technologies excel at bullshitting.

There will be many jobs lost to Degenerative AI in 25 months.

The companies who collapsed because they idiotically went all-in on Degenerative AI are going to cause a lot of unemployment.

The weird belief that Degenerative AI is "unbiased" is astonishing to me.

Or maybe ... don't?

I know, right? It's like irony is a lost art.

Humans have a fault in their collective brain such that we assume (in gestalt) that anybody who has a lot of money must have got it by smarts.

It's the lazy drive-by and rage votes specifically that I would love to see eliminated. If you're too much a coward to defend a position, maybe you shouldn't express it.
