What does it mean when every human can "write code"?

It’s a really incredible situation where literally Billions of dollars rest on the hyperbole turning out to be justified.

I have tried copilot. If that is state of the art for you I get what you meant previously…

I’m talking about GitHub Copilot Agent Mode, which only came out a few days ago on the insider edition of VSCode. I doubt we mean the same thing. Check it out here!

If there is anything better than it out there, I’d love to see a complete app made by whatever tool is supposed to be better. I’m still waiting on the results you promised of your clearly superior tool. :innocent:

Well, I have also added a code view for the nerds now - so it is possible to jump to the code to review it if you really need to.

Also monaco editor like in your vscode :wink:

What an interesting point. When AI makes code accessible to everyone, we shift from manually coding every solution to simply directing it.

For example, someone recently built an attendance calculator ( frekfencja edu) for Polish students using just a few AI prompts. What would have taken hours of work was done in minutes. This shows that while traditional coding might change, our creative and problem-solving skills remain essential.

In a world where folks carry super computers in a pocket and only use it for text and pics, I think folks who know how to direct code will be the new coders…

I think you’re missing a lot of the important points people are trying to make when talking to you. You tend to take things a bit too literal which results in a meaningless conversation. I’ll just refrain from answering to you until you provide proof of your tool that is supposed to beat multi-million dollar industries and AI-Models which are state of the art that also cost multi-million dollars. I am eager for you to prove me wrong. :blush:

Exactly this! I think it’s awesome that beginners or people with little tech knowledge can do things like this. This is what AI-Assisted coding should be!
Extending and adapting to your knowledge and making it easier to make something that you logically know how to make, just not literal with all the syntax and setup that comes with it. :hugs:

No, I am just not answering them so there are no hints.
I guess I will just use it to make higher levels of abstraction until all the work is automated.

I am thinking about a stratey agent that can use the coder to deploy software if it needs that in it’s business strategy. And also agents that use the software.

I don’t really see humans in the loop. I see a boss in a chair playing a game of monopoly with a million agents doing all the work.

When everybody can be a coder, coding becomes a basic skill like cooking, cleaning or driving a car.
In all three categories there are people employed, delivering value to those who don’t want to do it themselves.

For example, instead of going to an app store (shudder) one can simply whip-up whatever app they need or ask their friend to lend a hand.

It’s gonna be like windows … imo most folks will use it only to surf and social media, most folks won’t use AI to make original code… if they want a game they will buy it not spend a month building it…

The way you phrase these sentences, it just sounds to me like your tool doesn’t exist yet and you’re just envisioning it.

There is nothing wrong with that of course, however you previously stated that your tool can already do pretty much all of these things and is superior to all other code-gen tools.

I don’t know if you’re trolling, being serious or just being ambitious, whatever it is, I’ll wait for you to show us an end-result of something your tool made.
It would be wise of you to also quiet down until you can actually back up what you’re saying and claiming as this could provide huge benefits for people reading all of this. Readers could verify your claims and verify you as being reputable, not just “someone that claims to have made a revolutionary tool” but “someone that actually made a revolutionary tool”.

Let me know when your tool made a project that people can look at.
I’m not asking to see your tool, I’m asking to see a final project made by your tool.

And everyone here is ignoring the fact that without physical systems and their continued development, there would not be any framework to run such systems on. Interfacing with the real world will always be a necessity and ‘jobs’ for this always required even if we were able to scan ourselves into the digital ‘aether’ … that space would need to exist somewhere, on hardware, that is capable enough to encompass it.

The world changes. No matter what we want. It’s up to each of us to adapt as best we can with what we have at our disposal.

That is true. Someone has to deliver pizza (who would want a drone coming over with a hot one when you can have a guy asking for more tip who brings a cold one).

Also who wants to see a household robot doing all the ironing and cooking or who wants to see standardized parts in construction business that allow machines to do the job.

And we definitely don’t want a machine where we go in when we are sick that does all the checkups and prescribes medicine with no waiting time.

Gentlemen, there is a determining factor in this industry that is key to human evolution in all its facets, especially at a technological level. It may sound humorous, but it is the tangible reality of how our technology evolves. The key to everything is the all-powerful “Laziness” (minimum effort, maximum result).

If in the future I can ask Sora to create a movie with the actors I like or bring back animated characters I loved when I was young, I will do it.
And if I can ask an AI to modify a software component of one of my systems—tablet, PC, mobile, Smart TV, etc. (something I already do)—I will do it as well.

When it comes to communication, it’s exactly the same. If I can tell my phone, “Write to my wife that I’m staying out for a beer, but say it nicely,” I will do that long before picking up my phone, opening the app, and typing, dictating, or sending a voice message.

(I have set up a system in the Tasker app where WhatsApp messages are read aloud, it tells me who sent the message and gives me the option to have it read or not. I also have an automatic mode that directly reads everything that comes in and allows me to respond verbally. This way, I can be “coding” and replying to messages without even touching the device. I can also send messages to specific people by saying their name, followed by “write” and the specific message, and the device sends it automatically. It’s something like “OK Google,” but more direct.)

And I believe that is evolution: comfort.

Obviously, not all humans will use these technologies in the same way, but laziness seems to be a universal factor—people always want more comfort.

My friends, always bet on human laziness.
