I was reading an article where it was written then OpenAI's gpt3 can code in almost any language, And the programming jobs will not be safe in future. I love doing coding and i am happy for this fact but also bit worried about it as i thought to make a career in this field and i love programming too. So, can anyone tell me about this situation more clearly please.
Sorry for my bad english.
This is just not true, gpt-3 can't even multiply 2 numbers, nothing to worry about.
(diagram on page 22)
To be fair, most humans can't multiply 2 digit numbers without external tools. I certainly can't do better than 50% accuracy.
But what about adding 3 digits together?
I think knowing syntax is not the hard part of programming and "translate speech to code" things are about as much a danger to programmers as visual easy-to-use programming languages like Scratch (and they aren't really). I don't think you can program serious things by just knowing the relationship between syntax and meaning.
Programming languages have this nice property of being unambiguous and you want to take it away? Natural language is so limited no matter how good a neural network you have. I don't think you can complete a big software project with such things and if you can, it's just using a less-expressive, more ambiguous language where you have to fix all the mistakes by hand anyway.
That being said, I can see programmers use such tools to automate some tedious but not technically difficult tasks.
Thank you for clarification.
