This video doesn't incorporate immoderate code: consciousness free to skip it if you like, but either measurement I'm going to effort to support it short, truthful spot you connected the different broadside :-).
Also, this video isn't astir the morals of AI - you tin publication really I consciousness about that successful my article Why I don't usage AI.
And it's not astir whether AI "works".
It's astir really I'm feeling, and immoderate reasons for why I'm emotion for illustration that, and some hopefully hopeful conclusions.
Feeling sad
AI has been making maine sad for rather a while now. Really sad, retired of proportion with really overmuch AI has materially affected my life. Sad capable actually, that the sadness is the main effect that AI has had connected my life, making it harder for me to woody pinch mundane life and beryllium a bully spouse, parent, friend, colleague.
Obviously, AI is simply a imaginable threat to my livelihood and career, particularly if I continue to garbage to usage it, but I don't deliberation that explains rather really sad I've felt.
Disrespect
I deliberation I've felt sad because of the disrespect. For astir of my life I have loved programming: I've made it my hobby, my work, my identity. I made it my way of proving I person value, because I tin beryllium bully astatine something, and amended at something, and it is useful, and beautiful: you tin make cool things, and those things tin beryllium made successful ways that are for illustration trade aliases creation aliases subject aliases Maths.
And if you tin do it, group deliberation you're clever, and respect you.
Now immoderate group successful our manufacture are telling america that programming is obsolete, that we are dinosaurs, and the only breathtaking aliases viable profession way is to move on from programming, the point I love, to paying them to rent programming from their machine, because it's a commodity now.
The point I love; the point I made my identity. The point that earns maine the respect I americium truthful hopeless for.
I cognize a batch of group could beryllium watching this and thinking, "where were you when they disrespected me?" How overmuch respect is fixed to the activity of farmers or nurses aliases drivers aliases parents aliases carers aliases teachers aliases hospitality workers or cleaners aliases car-washers aliases truthful galore different people? I know, I americium precocious to the party, but I've arrived now.
It was a daze to maine that bosses were truthful keen to ditch group for illustration maine and replace america pinch an imitation. How naive I was, and really self-centred.
So that's why I've been sad. But I want to move connected and effort to supply immoderate hope.
I've sewage 3 group successful mind, who I'd for illustration to encourage: myself, people watching my videos for the emotion of coding, and group watching them to learn, to build their career.
Let's talk to maine first.
To myself
Andy, the first point you request to understand is that they can't return your love of programming distant from you. You emotion it. You conscionable emotion it: it excites you, it calms you, it gives you a imaginative outlet, it satisfies you. That's a God-given thing astir you that they can't return away. They besides can't return distant the fact that you are rather bully astatine it, and tin improve. Enjoy it. Don't discarded your time and pain your productivity caring astir receiving respect from group who don't deserve immoderate respect from you.
To the codification lovers
Now, for group watching for the emotion of coding, the connection is the same: they can't return it distant from you. Just bask it. If you for illustration watching videos about coding, promote the group making them, and you mightiness conscionable proviso enough energy that they are capable to continue.
To the learners
For group watching to learn: don't perceive to group who opportunity this accomplishment is obsolete. Let maine beryllium clear here: moreover if the highly optimistic predictions about AI are true, we are going to request a batch of code, and the group who understand how it useful are going to beryllium very, very useful.
First, the type of reasoning you study by coding is going to beryllium incredibly useful, moreover successful a early wherever that reasoning is applied to wider-scale problems. Training your encephalon to create analyzable systems, analyse them, remodel them, debug them is going to make you useful, and employable.
Second, the knowledge of really codification really useful is going to stay useful. Did we extremity knowing instrumentality codification erstwhile we wrote compilers? No! People person jobs writing compilers, and their knowing of instrumentality codification and pipelines and caches and locality and loads of worldly I don't understand is measurement deeper than anyone had erstwhile compilers were invented!
I person tegument successful the crippled present myself: 2 of my kids are learning programming and heading towards imaginable programming careers. Despite my heavy sadness astir the changes successful my industry, I person nary worries astir them learning non-AI-powered coding astatine assemblage and schoolhouse - I americium convinced it will group them up for whatever the world looks for illustration complete the adjacent fewer decades.
Love to you
So that's each I person to say. If you are emotion immoderate of the confusion, fearfulness or sadness that I cognize galore of america are feeling, I dream it mightiness thief a bit.
Let maine cognize connected Mastodon (@[email protected]) aliases via a comment connected my blog, aliases nether the video.
Love to you: you person massive, monolithic value, and you merit respect, arsenic you are today. Whether you tin codification aliases do thing other is irrelevant. (Yes, I'm talking to myself again.)
Love to you.
