Sounds like someone's worried about how easily replaced they'll be in the future...
You sound like a class traitor
Realist, maybe. Often a pessimist. Never really a class traitor. Besides, I'm more blue collar than white collar, so I've never gotten the luxury of working from home at a higher pay, so as far as being the same class....in the sense of rich vs everyone else, sure.
Your snide comment just seemed a bit too glee about people about to lose their job. Or at least: lacking in solidarity with them.
Forget the distinction between blue and white collar, or higher and lower income: these aren't classes and the distinction onlyserves toseparateus in class struggle. I meant the "wage dependant class here".
Yeah, writing prompts it’s the long term goal, programming will be obsolete.
Nobody that can write a problem in a structured language, taking edge cases into account, will be able to write a prompt for a LLM.
Prompt writers will be the useful professionals, because NO big tech company is trying to make it obsolete making AI ubiquitous and transparent, aiming it to work for natural language requests made by normal users or simply from context clues. /s
Prompt engineering it’s the griftiest side of the latest AI summer. Look a who is selling the courses. The same people that sold crypto courses, metaverse courses, Amazon dropship store courses…
You sound like you think prompt writer is an actual job man chill out doesn't even exist
Looks like someone is excited about shit content pumped out as fast as computers can munge shit to spit
Nah, that's going to blow, and I was talking about just that several months ago. The internet is going to be completely fucked, now. It has a nice little run of the golden years from like 1995 through about 2012. Decade after that was all downhill and the last year or so gas been a dumpster fire that's still getting bigger.
Sounds like science fiction. No proof that it’s useful right now except copy pasta from StackOverflow.
