Has artificial intelligence taken everything, or is there still room for people to work and create
Posted by Sea_Pomegranate180@reddit | learnprogramming | View on Reddit | 8 comments
Welcome! After much research and searching, I haven't found an answer to whether some jobs or skills are still useful and whether people are earning money from them or building projects with them, or not.
I wanted to Take a step and learn a skill. Or learn programming languages to create websites or build a project that will benefit me. But every time I look for a roadmap, it makes me resort to using artificial intelligence tools like Cloud and other tools without True learning of programming languages, or rather, a shortcut to learning metaphorically, and the rest of the task is on AI, So are programmers, software developers, and website creators still working as freelancers or remotely, or has artificial intelligence reduced the work of programmers and AI automation learners?
The third question is: Do you advise me to build a project or start a path to learn an electronic skill that will give me independence, such as learning programming and AI automation together, or is one enough? Where should I start? What websites or courses should I take?
As a nurse, I would like to learn these things, but I am frustrated that artificial intelligence does everything, and I am afraid to start something and not see the results after learning or working on it.
I would be grateful for your kind response to my questions.

Check the simpsons episode where Bart emancipates and Tony Hawk lends a skateboard that gives the illusion of being a good skater.
That’s ai, a tool, if you don’t have experience working on it, the illusion is strong. But if you have experience is a great tool.
So to answer your question, as long as we humans exist, creativity will exist.

I'd say that AI gives a skewed perception to new programmers:
* On one side they see that they can produce something in no time and with little effort, but they fail to see beyond that, in the sense that debugging and adding new features to the code base becomes extremely difficult. Experienced programmers will not touch your code because it'll be a mess.
* On the other side, learning to code takes a lot of time, but you end up having better understanding of the underlying technologies, thus, debugging, adding new features and organizing your code becomes an organic process.

AI is stupid despite what they tell you. You still need to guide it and even then it can get things wrong so you need judgment. It makes things faster, not better.
If you really want to learn something you can use AI as your training or to explain concepts that are not clear. You could even use it to build something as long as you take it from the perspective of learning not doing it for you.
But AI will never be able to fill in the gaps of knowledge, you will need to do your own research, read book and articles. Use AI to supplement not be the end all

dev jobs still very real, ai just changes how we work, not that we stop existing, someone still has to design, debug, glue tools together and talk to users. start with basic web dev or python, use ai as helper, not crutch. separate note, finding paid work with any new skill is still a grind now and it’s honestly hard as hell in this job market

Not only there is room, you can do lots of new works that you wouldn't be capable of doing if you learn how to use the right tool the right way.

AI seems like the most prominent FOMO at this time, but the principles of programming will stay the same no matter how good AI gets at it, and people still need to understand programming to find mistakes and optimize code. Without the basics AI might just confuse and distract you.

Right now, companies are starting to question the return of investments of AI. Some found that the cost of AI is currently larger than just paying an employee. Also, the usage of AI has lead to more bugs and downtime of services. As it turns out: developers still need to know what they are doing to understand what AI is doing.
You still need to be a competent programmer to evaluate whatever AI generates for you, because at the end of the day you'll be responsible for the million dollar bug you didn't catch in the code AI generated for you.
So, you still need all of the skills an experienced programmer has to use AI efficiently and the most efficient way of developing these skills is to not use AI.

I think there is still a need for new people in the industry, but it's getting much harder to find work completely self taught. Even people with full bachelor's degrees in CS are struggling, I think the era of "teach yourself to code and get a 100k freelancing job" is kind of over.
