Because GTAV made over $700 million last year on 12 year old ip. They are in absolutely zero rush to release a sequel that may or may not flop in an era when it’s clear that 90-100% of programming jobs will be eliminated within a decade.
Every programmer they replace with ai now is one less bonus to pay out after release.
So you think that 90-100% of programming jobs WON’T be replaced by AI within a decade? I realize there are limitations but I think exponential growth is difficult to see within the first three years. We are currently in year three.
No I don’t. I’m sure C suite executive think that’s the case, but every time they’ve tried it they’ve always had to back pedal and hire the human staff back.
I imagine if one writes janky spaghetti then it’s easy to think that LLMs will result in redundancy. My experience is that they’re like having an over-enthusiastic junior who doesn’t learn. Useful when one can’t be bothered to write something with very limited scope but is quickly out of their depth on anything involved.
Yeah. AI 100% makes me more productive and by a good bit. I used it to write a section of code today to export all the information my program gathers about a system to a json file. Woulda taken me 20 minutes but chatgpt did it in seconds.
It also, in the same snippet, introduced a breaking change I didn’t ask for in the original code. I only copied the json part; I just happened to notice the change in the code it wrong. It added a fork bomb lol
I’ve cut down on that by only giving it tasks that are reviewed automatically.
“Spit this into a json”
It gives me the code, I continue with my program knowing exactly what is where in the json and if I get a parsing error or something I know exactly where to look. TBH, though, for things like that I must have an error rate lower than 5%
Ask it to configure a reverse proxy for a cors sensitive application, though, and I think I’d rather die

I’m guessing you haven’t actually seen the output from AI because you absolutely cannot replace humans with yet
That’s exactly what we keep yelling at the companies that keep trying, but some of them don’t listen, fire their staff for AI, and then regret it a few months later.
Just because it is incredibly awful does not mean stupid fucks in charge of companies won’t do it.

Stop, stop, I can’t breathe!
Do you write code?
If so, is it any good?

That’s the thing though - I find that what it saves me in time writing it costs me in reviewing. I hate reviewing.

Maybe 0 - 10%
