Adrian JohnsonTLDR:
AI is increasingly capable of writing code, which has the potential to revolutionize the software development process. Experts believe that AI coding will democratize software creation, allowing less tech-savvy individuals to direct AI to write certain types of code. Some predict that within the next 3-5 years, the majority of code will be written by AI entities. However, there are still concerns about the intuitive and creative aspects of coding that may be challenging for AI to replicate.
Many experts believe that AI will democratize the software development process by allowing less tech-savvy individuals to direct AI to write code.
About 30% of MIT undergraduates in a recent class predicted that within the next 3-5 years, the majority of code will be written by AI entities.
Some experts believe that AI will be able to generate 80-90% of regular application code within the next 5 years, with humans primarily writing code for complex integrations and legacy technologies.
There are concerns about the intuitive and creative aspects of coding that may be challenging for AI to replicate.
While there may be big efficiencies in using AI to write code, there are also potential drawbacks as AI wrestles with the creative and intuitive side of programming.
