Just like fast fashion replaced tailors with factory workers and machine operators, fast software will replace programmers with AI operators. And the market will demand many of them. Many more than large software companies employ today.

The new world will need more programmers (AI operators) than it needs now. Because the demand for custom software will soon start growing. Everyone will want their own Photoshop. Every developer will want their own IDE and their own Linux. And they will throw them away without hesitation. Just like I throw away my shoes every year and get new ones.

I share this here to see what are your thoughts on this.

      They cost nothing to duplicate, yes, which is why you wouldn’t pay as much as a physical book for it.

      What’s your point?

              I have no idea what you’re talking about.

              For a book, there are per-unit costs of the materials, ink, paper, manufacturing, etc.

              For an ebook, these are void. So the cost should be, at the very least, much lower than a physical book. Even if you take into account the effort of writing the book and such, it’s an initial cost, so it doesn’t justify a high price.

              The point being, physical items have costs related to their physicality, digital items don’t, so they shouldn’t cost as much. It’s pretty straightforward.

              And to loop back to my initial comment: that’s why it’s absurd to compare AIs, which are just bullshit for lazy sloppy people, and manufacturing processes, which come from the need to reduce the manufacturing costs of physical items. There is no manufacturing cost of software, so there is no need to mass-produce as fast as possible, and so there is just no reason to let devs throw up slop garbage to go “faster”

              Also, on a side note: programming with AIs don’t make you code faster, it just increases the amount of bugs and problems with your code. Obviously, since you’re just using a nonsense generator to try to produce a complex piece of digital machinery.

                You argument about ai not being a tool for coding faster is funny. Like arguing because I dont know how to type a computer is worse than writing code by hand.

                  Yeah I don’t have the mental energy to decrypt your messages, you’re just saying a bunch on nonsense and I’m not really wanting to spend so long trying to see what a slopbro is trying to say.

                  Have a nice day
