Microsoft’s GitHub's Copilot AI can write up to 40% of the code for programmers & is heading up to 80% within 5 yearsAI work done in less than half the traditional time & has implications across all industries where software development is now criticalhttp...
Imagine literally creating your replacement.
Someone will need to tell that program what to do.
The AI isn’t going to write something by reading a person’s mind.
So I am assuming this would be another no code solution that someone who is an administrator will drag and drop what the program will do.
This is a creative task.

So would every company use the same output? How does a company distinguish themselves from a competitor?
Neural networks modify over time given the parameters input. Each company has different tasks and each neural network would be slightly different.
I don't expect there to be many different companies when you have a few using autocoders like that in the future.
Unless entrepreneurship is destroyed. There will always be different companies.
Sales and marketing sits on top of tech. Sales and marketing is communication of experience.
McDonald’s and Burger King both produce the same end products.
They do have different experiences.
"Sorry I'm feeling a little sick today, I can't go to work".
"I broke a nail and it's causing incessant bleeding and worms crawling out of my finger, can't go to work today."
"I would like to work on the autocoder AI remotely"
Copilot is great. It often does stupid stuff, but I’ve learned to guide it by structuring my code or writing comments in a particular way. It’s very helpful for repetitive tasks. Mostly I like that it fills in stuff that is busy work and frees me up to spend more time on the creative aspect.
It is more like an assistant (at best) - not a replacement for developers... not now, and not in the foreseeable future either... for the same basic reasons as self-driving cars.
Remember self-driving cars? Self-driving trucks? Where are they? You ever hear about them any more?
The con artists pushing the hype vastly over-promised and under-delivered once they finally began to understand (during testing) how complex the task of driving a car in traffic really is. Remember the self-driving car that ran over and killed a pedestrian?
In a rare fit of honesty, one of the AI "researchers" admitted that the only way to get self-driving cars to work was to create special roads lined with sensors and simplified traffic patterns... in other words, roads as train tracks... which is not going to happen.
Then all of the AI bullshit quietly faded away, with the fraudsters hoping everyone would just forget about all the hype and promises, etc...
I bring this up as an example of technological fads that periodically come and go, milking as much money as they can from the gullible every time.
Well said.
Human beings are both emotional and logical. You cannot use 1’s and 0’s to replace us.
This is interesting, I haven't looked into this yet.
GitHub Copilot uses the OpenAI Codex to suggest code and entire functions in real-time, right from your editor.

Many things in the IT world have gone the same way. I remember back when "The Cloud" was the next big thing. I wondered why it was better to store your data on someone else's disk rather than your own but the answer soon materialised.
First it was just disk space with things like OneDrive and iCloud etc. Then they expanded the idea.
GMAIL was one such idea. It is convenient but it also gives Google access to everyone's emails. Facebook was good but all those selfies would be ideal data to test out your facial recognition programs - and much else.
Then we had GitHub. Microsoft has already added helpful prompts to its development environments no doubt based on GitHub contents. They analyse everyone's code and spot the commmon factors. They can see which commands typically follow others etc.
Remember, if it is free then you are the product. They are getting their money's worth somehow.
😆
This is why I am creating my own apps. Coders who can create something of value in their own design will have an edge.
Coding isn’t just writing if statements. It should be used to creatively add features.
Agreed!
