Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Your premise is false.

south summit
#

what

restive sleet
#

it's not a forgone conclusion that AI will get better than humans at programming. We seem to have already hit the ceiling with current methods.

south summit
#

wdym? Ofc Ai gonna get better then humans

charred bay
#

Did you read multiple scientific papers or even conduct your own study and published your own paper?

south summit
#

You dont see how powerfull ai is getting???

vestal quarry
#

the current approaches will not lead to AGI which is what would really threaten our jobs

south summit
#

why should you need to read anything you can see it, ai is already better then 90% better then programmers

vestal quarry
#

and it's in question when or IF the big tech will actually publish anything AGI

hearty slate
vestal quarry
#

yeah but that's a far cry from replacing programmers entirely

south summit
#

bro wtf. if we wait like 2-3 years ai gonna replace any programmers

hearty slate
#

What we are saying is itโ€™s not a given that AI can actually improve much more with current models

vestal quarry
#

we'll see, but the AI companies are so invested in LLMs that I'm starting to doubt if they're seriously even building AGI based products

hearty slate
#

Have you read anything about this?

bleak wagon
south summit
#

i know companies are replacing Ai instead of humans

#

AI is getting out of hand, its already massive. you can ask gemini to programm you something, what if companies built better Ai for their work

restive sleet
bleak wagon
#

We are not even remotely at the point where we could realistically ask an LLM to implement the vast majority of changes necessary at my employer. At best (and even that is often questionable), it can make a human programmer work a bit faster on some tasks.

south summit
south summit
#

im also mean ai in 2-3 years

restive sleet
# south summit wdym? Ofc Ai gonna get better then humans

you're assuming that AI is improving at a certain rate, and that it will just continue at that rate uninterrupted until we have AGI. But that's never how AI has worked. AI progress happens in bursts where someone makes a breakthrough in model architecture, and then people do stuff with it until they hit the ceiling for how good AI can be with that breakthrough

#

it looks like we've hit the ceiling for the current breakthrough.

south summit
#

stop talking high level english

bleak wagon
# south summit im also mean ai in 2-3 years

There's good reason to believe that LLMs will never be good enough to autonomously solve that vast majority of professional programming tasks. And that they will continue to be useful only as a tool in the hands of a human programmer. There are fundamental limitations in the basic algorithm.

just to show you how massive ai learns. you know the meme from social media, where will smith eats spagheti? if yes you need to see the difference about year 2023-2025. Rn you cant see any difference between real and ai.

vestal quarry
#

the changes necessary for AI to replace human programmers are fundamental in nature

#

and we're not really seeing those changes in today's models

south summit

#

@south summit please take what dementati has said as an official warning about your behavior.

vestal quarry
#

the reason I have doubts about the big tech publishing any AGI models is precisely that AGI would be capable of improving itself, unlike the currently available models

misty tapir
#

btw what does de soziopath part in your username means dersoziopathlol?

south summit
#

you dont know it?

misty tapir
#

no, could you ellaborate?

vapid kite
#

also exponentially smaller

south summit
#

no just go to google ai he know it

vapid kite
#

models

south summit
#

I know what I see, but I am sure that AI will learn on its own.

bleak wagon
# vapid kite

Even if models improve exponentially based on some metrics, it's not a given that those metrics measure something significant, in terms of questions like "will AI replace human programmers?"

#

Or that the exponential improvement will continue in the future

vestal quarry
#

the fundamental problem with current gen AI is that it cannot adapt to new challenges. All it does is regurgitate its training data in different combinations based on the prompt, thus faking intelligence

#

and it sounds convincing enough to fool a lot of people

vapid kite
#

yeah they should find a way for ai to learn in real time after the training phase that would be great

vestal quarry
#

but the architecture is the reason why the models are so ridiculously large

bleak wagon
#

I do think LLMs have useful capabilities beyond any previous algorithm or model types, but just because it can simulate human speech doesn't mean those capabilities include all those of humans.

vapid kite
#

already took over maths

vestal quarry
#

I don't think anybody's questioning the usefulness of LLMs, just whether they can actually replace humans in jobs that require creating thinking

vapid kite
#

many jobs are already being displaced

vestal quarry
#

mostly those that involve plenty of manual work

vapid kite
#

like translators or transcribers

south summit
#

isnt already ai taking humans jobs?

hearty slate
#

But not necessarily many programming jobs

vestal quarry
#

for translators I imagine AI doing 95% of their work

restive sleet
vestal quarry
#

but that work is trickier if you want to do it right

vapid kite
#

ive rarely seen wrong translations personally by ai

vestal quarry
#

the AI translations I've seen are intelligible alright, but they always seem to contain weird glitches

#

stuff you'd need some context for to get right

vapid kite
#

isnt programming just translating human ideas into a coding language

#

technically also translation

vestal quarry
#

well LLMS deal with tokens, not ideas

#

they are based on language elements which is insufficient to represent ideas properly

#

and it also needlessly ties the model to a particular language

south summit
vapid kite
#

imagine if neuralibk could turn human thoughts into comprehendable english

#

then u can link that to ai right

hearty slate

that's the big question

#

agi will release after gta 6

vestal quarry
#

big tech is either holding back their AGI stuff (OpenAI and others claimed to have "reached agi internally") or they don't know how to do that

south summit
#

i know, maybe read it again. maybe read the question mark behind the stupid. ITS a QUESTION.

vestal quarry
#

it's entirely plausible that they don't want to release that stuff, as there's no telling what would happen

hearty slate

like agi is just around the corner

ai cant even do tricky and trivial code.
it just slop
Claude Code is a prime example.

#

or another ai bot

vapid kite
#

u either use ai or get replaced by ai

vestal quarry
#

I remember reading Ilya Sutskever's interview last year, and he seemed to believe in doubling down on the LLM tech. Last I heard he was building an ASI company in Israel or somewhere. Good luck with that ๐Ÿ˜›

at the end of the day, it depends how you use it.

#

did you get an answer to your actual question?

vapid kite
#

if ai could actually simulate the human brain it would be no different from it

#

but thats too process intensive

south summit
#

im sorry, but ai gonna replace the humans

vestal quarry
vestal quarry

plus keep in mind humans require years of training (learning)

vestal quarry

not all the jobs at least

hearty slate
south summit
#

im not saying thisdays i mean in possible 2-3years

vestal quarry
#

2-3 years is a bit too soon I think

vapid kite
#

gen Z will definitely experience agi imo

#

perhaps 20-30yrs later

#

the bad news is no job is safe the good news is no job is safe since now u dont have to work!!

#

lol

vestal quarry
#

it'll be interesting to see who then will buy stuff when everyone's unemployed

south summit
#

I wanted to be programmer or built a OS. but if i see AI is this MASSIVE its not worth and learning this fast is not possible to keep with it. ai already can handle so much code and i dont wanna know it in 2-3 years ๐Ÿ’€

hearty slate
#

The thing is current models could be close to reaching a ceiling until another breakthrough happens

vapid kite
#

the so called AI "ceiling" doesnt exist

#

its a glass ceiling

south summit
#

so my last question is why learn coding? there is no use about it (fun doesnt count)

vapid kite
#

they keep moving the goalpost too

vestal quarry
#

with the current models I would say there is a ceiling

bleak wagon
# vapid kite gen Z will definitely experience agi imo

I think it's not a given. There are certain technologies we've been waiting for that seem right around the corner, but they just keep getting pushed back. And some revolutionary technologies come out of nowhere. I don't think it's possible to gauge how difficult AGI is based on what LLMs can do.

vestal quarry
bleak wagon
#

The complexity of the only known object in the universe with that level of intelligence is pure insanity.

#

Maybe our artificial version has to be similarly complex.

vapid kite
south summit
#

something that doesnt live and get inf old and also be possible to inf smart means its getting out of hand, ai is pretty sure soon learning on its own.

vapid kite
#

because even if humans are still "smarter" u have to account for human weaknesses suvh as emotions that AI doesnt have

weary pumice
vestal quarry

vestal quarry
#

current models cannot improve themselves

misty tapir
# vapid kite the so called AI "ceiling" doesnt exist

without a major change in the models architecture or how they are trained, I don't think they'll improve significantly much more

there might not be a ceiling, but the progress will flatten with a breakthrough
with one, it could easily smash through the ceiling, but there is no telling when someone will discover another one

south summit

im talking in the future (2-.. max:10 years)

its js too expensive and not enough developmebt rn

u cannot tell the difference

did you not read anything I said about control?

#

you have these pitiful controllers which are a far cry from moving your body freely in VR

vapid kite
vapid kite

they absolutely are

u know actors have these suits that record every movement

vestal quarry

do you own a VR rig?

and then they put it on anime

prisma cape

#

that's very different, you cannot move freely in VR

#

and locomotion blows in current gen TBH

#

there are expensive, bulky "solutions" to that which are still far from free movement

very soon

#

@south summit do you actually have any technical knowledge of how LLMs work, if not I donโ€™t see why you are arguing with people who do and are trying to answer your questions

jovial gorge
#

Do such thing actually exist

south summit
#

no I SAID (if) ai learns on its own.

bleak wagon
# vapid kite very soon

I think you can draw comparisons between VR and LLMs. They both have the trappings of what we imagine from movies and TV shows, but the core tech is a far cry from it.

vapid kite
#

because they never disagree with them

jovial gorge
#

Ok that's crazy
I gotta search about that later

south summit
#

im sorry for any disrespect. and i want to leave the group but i can so idk.

vapid kite
#

people are becoming more reliant on AI by the day

#

asking ai for basic tasks

#

ofcourse its not all

#

but if half the population is reliant on AI

prisma cape
vapid kite
#

doublethink

bleak wagon
vapid kite
#

and lets say humans become dumber bexause of their reliance on ai

#

then agi will be even sooner

#

bec agi is js being smarter than humans

bleak wagon
#

That's a bit oversimplified. When we say humans are dumb, we mean compared to other humans.

vapid kite
bleak wagon
#

Not compared to like, a vacuum cleaner.

vapid kite
#

imagine how bad when it starts to reason

#

if companies use it for profits

#

scaryy

vapid kite
#

i heard a study that said human brains are smaller now

#

than they used to be

prisma cape
# vapid kite then agi will be even sooner

ok but what does people getting dumber have to do with llms being closer to agi
like, imagine this oversimplified example where an intelligence of 100 means agi, and current llms are at like 10
humans getting dumber doesn't change the fact that llms are still stuck at 10

vapid kite
#

humans can go to 9 ez

vapid kite
prisma cape
bleak wagon
#

I think it's a mistake to even put LLMs and humans on the same scale.

bleak wagon
#

Their "intelligence" is of a fundamentally different nature.

vapid kite
#

Artificial general intelligence (AGI)โ€”sometimes called humanโ€‘level intelligence AIโ€”is a type of artificial intelligence that would match or surpass human capabilities across virtually all cognitive tasks.[1][2]

prisma cape
# vapid kite in ur terms

it doesn't actually matter here, for the argument of "dumber humans = closer to agi"
I'm specifically telling you that dumber humans has nothing to do with whether llms get closer to being agi (whatever agi might mean)

bleak wagon
prisma cape
vapid kite
#

the robotics is underdeveloped for sure tho nowhere near humans

#

but the brain is closer

bleak wagon
#

If we reach the point that the average human is as capable as a current LLM, then we'll die out as a species.

bleak wagon
#

So we'll have no food.

vapid kite
#

are u sure?

bleak wagon
#

Yes.

vapid kite
#

theres machines that sow seeds, that harvest crops, that sprinkle water, and u can just use a set schedule

#

all u need is ai driving to transport the goods

bleak wagon
#

The LLM will have to build those machines as well.

#

And run the factories that produce the parts.

vapid kite
#

moving the goalpost >:(

bleak wagon
#

No?

#

We're talking about a human civilization run by LLM-level agents.

vapid kite
#

humans arent extinct yet tho how will humans go extinct is the question

#

humans can do the machines ai can be the nanagers

bleak wagon
vapid kite
#

while humans are blue collar

#

ai is white collar

#

:)

bleak wagon
#

Humans are still as smart as an LLM, so a blue-collar human would be incapable of doing blue-collar work.

vapid kite
#

it just cant physically

#

most of it is automatic anyway

bleak wagon
#

Extremely doubtful.

#

Or rather, 100% impossible.

vapid kite
#

isnt there a car factory thats so automated it doesnt even have lights on

#

because it doesnt need lights

#

for humans

bleak wagon
#

A factory being automated in general and a factory being run by an LLM are very different things.

vapid kite
#

u need multiple LLMs for each subdivision/task

#

but if u have them its possible

#

they could even fix stuff

tough bramble
#

Also...I sometimes feel potent that I might have picked a dying industry

bleak wagon
vapid kite
#

i just hope theres a UBI by the time AI takes over

#

idk search up dark factories

#

in my view factories definitely wont be the main problem

#

they would js need toaintain the existing ones

bleak wagon
#

It's not that you can't automate large parts of factories.

#

It's letting LLMs run them.

#

That's the problem.

vapid kite
#

and why is that a problem

#

what exactly cant an LLM do

#

that a human can

bleak wagon
#

You can write programs that perform specific tasks extremely well and reliably.

#

LLMs are not reliable.

vapid kite
#

humans also make midtakes

bleak wagon
#

They are language generators.

vapid kite
#

if LLMs have high temperature

#

they will eventually be lucky and get the right solution lol

#

i mean itd be nice if AI could learn on its own

#

but thats not inpossible either

#

also halluciantions are a problem

#

but that problems decreasing

vapid kite
#

human managers also dont ever touch machinery

#

they js talk with the workers

#

the llm will generate instructions/code for machibes/robots

#

its not something conpletely out of the question

Oh neat. Dark factories mentioned. As someone who works in a car factory, there are still a lot of people involved

while people don't have to form words in their minds to think

vapid kite
#

next time

vapid kite
#

which is not as precise as language in my virw

#

i think language made it easier to form complex thoughts

#

some areas like spatial thinking yeah language is suboptimal for sure

#

LLMs could be combined with image models

#

and then later voice models like sesame that can hear emotion/tone

#

sorry im js super interested in ai ๐Ÿ˜…

#

The key takeaway is that language is based in communication, not thinking

ai cant replace programmers bro they need us to be used

# stuck nacelle Which is harder, solving the Riemann hypothesis or reaching AGI?

non-dev answer, but riemann's hypothesis is slightly below p=np for complexity. I would defer to research already done by IBM or Google. youll find more complex arguments through IBM's research (where they initially had goals of rainbow tabling w/ quantum chips to break encryption standards, which iirc was popped 2 years ago, but may have resurfaced w/ Google's Willow Project a few months back re: RSA 2048) . agi is more on the band of IBM and their quantum studies, but coupled with things like Google's Willow chip and Moore's law ; were headed somewhere exponentially fast.
