I predict that, within the year, AI will be doing 100% of the development work that isn't total and utter bullshit pain-in-the-ass complexity, layered on obfuscations, composed of needlessly complex bullshit.
That's right, within a year, AI will be doing .001% of programming tasks.
Can we just get it to attend meetings for us?
Legitimately could be a use case
"Attend this meeting for me. If anyone asks, claim that your camera and microphone aren't working. After the meeting, condense the important information into one paragraph and email it to me."
Here is a summary of the most important information from that meeting. Since there were two major topics, I've separated them into two paragraphs.
The rest of the information was deemed irrelevant to you and your position.
Holy cow! You've done it! You could wrap this (static text block) in a web API and sell it.
Edit: /s, I guess. But that text really is easily an 80% solution for meeting summaries.
Hell yes! I'll join the front of the hype train if they can demo an AI fielding questions while a project manager reviews a card wall.
Y'know... that seems reasonable. I'd place my bet that there'd be something good enough in only a few years. (Text only, I'd bet)
Big companies will take 5 years just to get there.
Fellow freelancer, I see.
