OpenAI's Prediction: Superhuman AI Coders By 2025 (Is Programming DEAD?)
The first AI tested in programming scored as the top 1 millionth programmer.
The second AI tested was the top ten thousandth (putting it in the top 10% of US programmers).
The latest AI tested in December is the top 175th best programmer (putting it in the top 0.1% of programmers in the US, better than 99.9% of programmers in the US and cheaper than 100% of them).
Now consider how far this has come in two years and ask yourself where will it be in six months? How about in 1 year?
The second question you should ask yourself is if any college graduate would score in the top 175? If not, why would you hire any more college graduates?
Third question I would ask is, if a programmer is not in the top 175 after ten years of working on the job, why would you keep them? Their is no way they can improve at the rate that AI is improving.
Fourth question, there are 139,000 computer programmers in the US. We could fire 99% of them today and still AI would be better than 90% of those that remain. So then, are we going to be looking at mass layoffs of computer programmers this year?
