Devin, die neue KI-Software von Cognition, zeigt, dass es unseren Bildungssystemen nicht gelingt, sich in Echtzeit an KI anzupassen. Überall auf der Welt befinden sich Hunderttausende Menschen in der Ausbildung für einen Beruf, der abgebaut wird.

still need someone to fix the edgecases, plus when security cameras were adopted by businesses everywhere security guards were still needed for insurance purposes. Same for coding
Jesus this AI score 13% on GitHub problem solving, it’s not even near a shit developer, let alone good developer.
Will we lose our jobs ? Eventually.
Will it happen in the next 10 years ? Not likely.
Will software developers go extinct? Nop
Still need someone to write the instructions in high fidelity and using plain English, which is the equivalent of programming using very inefficient syntax and relying on an interface that lacks idempotency.
Yeah the code is faster to generate. But the text input you must provide will, most of the time, take longer than writing the code yourself.
Who writes this stuff? What is their motivation? This is complete fiction.
AI coding is as hard as AGI, because if you have a good AI coder then you can tackle any problem by describing it to them and getting them to code software to solve it for you.
Meaning that once AI coding is superhuman there’s no way to adapt, it’ll be better at everything else you could adapt to aswell.
If it was actually as good as a human developer, the company behind it wouldn’t have job openings for SWEs:

Things we will still need for a while yet. People in healthcare, trades, education, mental health. Those jobs aren’t going to quickly disappear.
Yea robots are coming, but like all new tech they are going to k be crazy expensive and not cheap to maintain.
This title is so absolutely delusional you have to wonder if it was paid for by cognitions marketing team
The speed of technology progress is not their fault, specially those in third world countries. It’s not like the teachers of those topics can simply quit and switch to a different job that easily; same for the students or people who have a certain amount of progress in any skill. It’s like giving up drawing to learn to write after years of doing one or the other, it’s nuts how quickly it’s been
will loose jobs mainly because companies swollen ush toot hw hot new thing in AI, fire people because it’s cheaper too dos o and then when AI fumbles around fails, they re-hire people for less.
plus shouldn’t education be more then just job hunting, should it be about allowing kids too learn and expand there mind
Devin is likely vaporware as pointed out by other reddit reviews.
Only 14% successful on fixing GitHub issues.
There’s a factor in the AI-as-programmer situation that people seem to ignore, which is that most programmers are kind of crap at programming too.
We compensate for that by wrapping our activities in an iterative process of testing and correcting in a feedback loop to converge on a good solution.
We can do that with AI too.
We have a bad habit of expecting perfect answers from computers, because we’ve been conditioned to that over decades of use, but they only got that way because of teams of developers that were individually quite error prone, but operating in the kind of corrective feedback loop I described above.
I want people on these subs to say what jobs will be around if engineering jobs are removed. If the AI can develop quality software, deploy it, update it when new security issues arise, then what’s to stop some form of AI from doing every other corporate level job?
What do you tell people to pursue instead?
What if we stopped the advancement of ai so PEOPLE didn’t lose jobs 🙂
This reeks of some business grad’s wet dream. Who reviews the code to make sure it’s complete? That it works as intended? That it is maintainable? Etc.
It’s hard to react to exponential growth after a certain point of the curve has been reached.
I keep repeating this point: lawyers will not be replaced with AI. Not because AI can’t do the job, but because law degrees are the most common degrees for politicians, and attorney the most common job. They will legislatively prevent it, „in the interest of the public,“ because they are not going to shit in their own bed.
So long as we continue to hold the narrow view, as seems apparent in OP’s post description, that education’s purpose is to train human’s for tasks and jobs then yes, those systems are probably lagging behind.
The burden of training should, at the very least, be shared in large measure by workplaces who likely have their own particular SOPs and KPIs in place in addition to their own culture.
If anything, more emphasis should be placed on equipping the next generation with the mindset and methods that enable them to continue learning. If the focus remains solely on training then the value of education will continue, as it already does today, to not add up.
As a software dev, I completely disagree. AI is not yet good enough to do our jobs and won’t be for a very long time.
It’s good enough to fool managers and „futurists“ though, so I look forward to the influx of software jobs revolving around fixing the shitty code businesses made with AI after they fired all their devs.
Devin is a scam and even if it wasn’t it’s not replacing developer jobs. God I wish this bubble would pop already.
Damn I thought we were obsolete within a year when gpt 4 came out…now we’re obsolete again soon now the scam project Devin is announced (not even out)…I look forward to next year’s thing about to make me obsolete
Utter bullshit. This is not a failure of the education system. To some technological advancements you can only adapt after the fact. We will only know which jobs AI can really replace once it has done so. Right now it can not replace even one full human. But it can „replace“ infinitely many of ~20-50% humans.
Didn’t read the article; just stopped at writing code for deploying and creating videos… Literally a media bot… Does it actually code or is this thing just chat gpt connected to WordPress?
If you think programming is about writing code then you’re not really programming. Programming stays the same whether you’re using squiggles or simple language. It’s just getting 100x faster, guess what, the need is get 1000x bigger
The FUD on reddit about AI and software engineering from non-devs is insane. Just stop already. LLMs are not even 1% of the way to competing with actual developers.
I think there’s an obsession about replacing software developers.
If/when AI can replace software developers it can basically replace all other white collars too
Lmao. 100’s of „copy paste online code without knowing what it does“ are being replaced maybe, sure. For the best, I think.
The idea was technology would bring freedom, but Americans are not interested in their freedom, only domination by private interest and their rewarded pennies for supporting powerful owners of production. Whatever happened to using government to topple monarchy? Americans don’t know and have lost their way.
We will always need people to make sure the code being written serves people. I wouldn’t trust non human systems to get this right in the long run. Sure short term it will be impressive, but unchecked it will definitely be the end of us.
This means software engineering will change, but taking the people out altogether is a terrible idea.
I fear that society will have to crash completely before the rich will stop calling all of the unemployed „lazy“ and realize that humans shouldn’t be required to be slaves just to have housing, food and health care.
For people who is not in the programming field, this is the 93627282th time someone has said this will replace programmers.
Only people who doesnt know what programming and software engineering entails says that stuff, yes thats including Nvidia CEO
No shit. Lawyers and even general practitioner doctors are going to be out of a job very soon.
