The Computer-Science Bubble Is Bursting
Artificial intelligence is ideally suited to replacing the very type of person who built it.

Entry level coders didn't create AI. FFS.

What would you know about it? Any decent university will have undergraduate courses that involve coding artificial intelligence. When I was in school, we did it in Prolog.

At one point we were all entry level coders.

Prolog was used for "expert systems", this is quite a bit different than AI of today.

It's an advanced elective, but no, students are not coding massive LLMs like the gpt models. They don't have the funding, the clusters they can access aren't that powerful. GPT-4 has 1.7 trillion parameters.

AI has to have a hardware platform to run on. AI is not capable of maintaining and repairing itself. Yet.
Computer techs will always have a job until it can.
The techs will be the last out of the building.
But then they will be in high demand by the humans in the resistance forces.

Just wait until businesses get their heads out of their anuses and realize AI ENABLES workers, not replacing them. If AI can do a x amount, and a human can do y amount, imagine an x+y methodology instead of x replaces y. Since it's so new, companies only see dollar savings. But once some companies start seeing how much more work a human can do with AI assistance, that is when we will have a revolutionary change in technology. It will happen probably in about 5 years, just long enough for big companies to plug in all of the AI they can until they start seeing diminishing returns and have to think of something else to keep the profit machine whirring. This is just how technology has been embraced for 40 years and I don't see anything changing. We first have to get passed the luster of AI before companies will really start spending time and resources on how it can push the ball forward, not how it can keep things the same with less labor.
Also, coding is a VERY small field of computer science. This article does a disservice by trying to equate the two as equals.

Not so fast, hoss...
AI Is Supposed To Make Work Better. Is It Doing The Opposite?
