These Jobs Are At Risk Of Being Replaced By Chatbots Such As ChatGPT – SlashGear

While computer programmers and writers might not seem like two groups that overlap much on the surface, their workflows are eerily similar. The nitty-gritty of computer programming is an awful lot like the day-to-day keyboard pounding that a writer goes through. The language may be different (Python versus English, for instance), but the process is very closely aligned.

Science reported in December 2022 that a new AI system called AlphaCode has taken a giant stride forward in the world of AI-generated coding. AlphaCode can work through more than a million code iterations to find viable solutions to the input parameters. Codex, the next best thing in space, can generate tens or hundreds of possible solutions at a time. In a similar fashion to other professions on this list, programmers will be able to shed the grunt work and tasks that require carbon-copying features from one repository to another with the help of AI tools. They will still be needed in the field, however. Computer programmers build out fantastical worlds as well, and the fruits of their labor range from the productivity tools that businesses use on a daily basis to the games that countless people relax with. CBS News reports that it’s likely that ChatGPT and other AIs may be used as an automated check on code to limit a programmer’s time spent troubleshooting issues line by line.
