I think in five years — if the tools manage to stick around — finding coders that can work without AI assistance will be like finding skilled assembler developers. EDIT: Yep I’m definitely a bot because I typed an em dash. You can be a bot too on Ubuntu by hitting control+shift+u and then typing 2014 (the last year of semi-sanity in US politics).

And ever since I got a forklift my arm strength has gone down.

From the future: AI was the stealthy nail in the coffin. We’d already experienced a century of loss of knowledge. Basic things like animal husbandry, growing crops, mining, smelting, forging…programming. all the things that used to be done by brute human strength or knowledge were now done by computers and AI. But profit was king, out with the old knowledge, in with the new lack of it. So when the calamity finally happened, nobody was left with any of the knowledge to rebuild.

IMO, this is just the older generations thinking badly of the young. Be it rock n’ roll, D&D, internet, smartphones, or AI, the older generations will not understand the priorities, workflows, and conditions of their younger peers. Opposing AI is like rejecting the bicycle, sickle, or calculator. The thing that people should contemplate isn’t whether to use AI, but rather how to use it. Do we want only wealthy elites to have access to AI, or should everyone be able to use it? Should we use AI to teach people, and if so, what subjects? How do we prevent people from falling into poverty? And so forth. Outright rejection of AI is foolish, and simply means that the peoples who adapt to a world with AI, will come ahead of those who have isolated themselves.
