Futureism- Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over

[CentralMass]

9. I think that if an individual has some knowledge or expertise and asks the right questions that it can lead

to innovation. The amount of information and the speed at which it can tap it is impressive. I've working on a couple electronics projects as a hobby and since I had Google's Gemini linked to the Google search I've been using it. I am working with some small single board computers running Linux and coding mostly in Python. If I want to install some software package or ask it if what is available to perform a specific task etc it offers suggestions and gives detailed instructions on how to install it. etc. I ask it specific intelligent questions and as much as I hate to admit it but it help me develop the code and hardware much faster than I would have done on my own. I think if I chose to pursue it it could help productize one of the ideas and sell it. It actually offers suggestions on how to expand upon my ideas etc.
I think at some level AI was responsible for me getting pushed into retirement a little earlier than I had planned. The notion that one or two programmers using AI can replace 30 is pretty accurate in my opinion. It is clear that it is already eliminating thousands of jobs.
