In IT at least, I believe so and it is only a matter of time.

In the company where I am working as a head of the engineering dept we are using AI assisted programming to assist our programmers in coding. Compared to 3 years ago we are seeing vast improvements in both complexity and efficiency. Obviously I am not allowed to speak on the technology which we are using.

I know there are opinions on this with many feeling that Programming/coders will be one of those jobs holding the last bastion against replacement by AI because simply to code is not enough but you will need levels of creativity and reasoning to design a programming, which an AI might not have at our current level and not to mention testing as well.

Personally, from what I've seem with regards to the advancement it's only a matter of time. Heck just look at GPT-3. A few years ago before it's implementation if i tell you what it can do most will rightfully tell me i'm crazy and stop watching too much scifi shows. At this point honestly no one can say for certain if it will evolve further, or another "better" will take it's place. Though I'm willing to bet that eventually, something capable of replacing programmers will eventually take over.

The code quality sucks! It sucks less now than then but decades to go yet.

I like the verbal interface in ST:NG not essentially more complicated than nested menus but the brain processes speech and video faster than text.

The problem is that no one has figured out creativity as an algorithm. Programming isn't going away any time soon.

Because Codex is such an unknown and unobtainable substance... GitHub 10$ per month.
