There are no programmers in 5 years

I am not saying it, many experts are: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2oKqBgpR1dg

While some against it are saying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Swk3OW86uTM

Arguments against:

  • AI's role: While AI tools capable of generating code are emerging, they currently lack the creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills of human programmers. AI can automate routine tasks, but complex projects still require human expertise.
  • Demand for programmers: The demand for programmers is projected to grow in the coming years, driven by factors like digitalization, automation, and the expanding tech industry.
  • Evolution of programming: The nature of programming will likely evolve with AI assistance. Programmers might shift to higher-level design and oversight roles, while AI handles coding specifics.

Potential Scenarios:

  • Increased AI collaboration: Programmers may work alongside AI tools to improve efficiency and productivity.
  • Specialized programmers: Demand for programmers with expertise in areas like AI integration, cybersecurity, and complex algorithms might increase.
  • Democratization of programming: AI-powered tools could make coding more accessible, leading to a broader pool of individuals contributing to software development.

I stay neutral and open it up for discussions.

    I think they are talking about developers' job, Not CP. Fun of CP may continue irrespective of whether developer job exists or not. CP and dev are different game anyway. It's like chess. computers play chess better than humans for a long time but The World Chess Championship hasn't stopped neither are the Ing Cup stopping(ie for go). Similarly ICPC/IOI will continue.
