Generative AI might be well on its way to rendering more jobs obsolete. While speaking at the World Government Summit in Dubai, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang indicated that we might potentially be looking at the death of coding as a career (via Tom's Hardware).

The CEO attributed these sentiments to the rapid advances and adoption of AI. Huang added that learning code shouldn't be considered a priority for anyone looking to get into tech moving forward.

Huang might be on to something. Over the past few months, multiple users have achieved incredible feats using ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, from developing software in under 7 minutes to generating free Windows keys.

NVIDIA's lead further indicated that users interested in coding should consider channeling this energy and dedicating it to other sectors, including farming, biology, manufacturing, and education. Coding isn't entirely dead in the water either; this is because some skills will still be required to determine when and where to use AI programming.

Huang added that upskilling might be the way around this imminent change in the tech landscape. Upskilling will future-proof professionals by equipping them with the knowledge on how to go about AI programming.

People with actual skills are going to be able to make some serious bank in the next 10-20 years. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, welders, machinists, etc. People with worthless degrees will be boned though.

It will be interesting in so much that if AI disrupts the job market in a material way it will also disrupt the economy, thus reducing demand for these company's products and services.

I know its been sort of joke on this board but there is going to be a very serious need for these people in the short future.

I have a daughter that will be a SR in high school in August. Trying to help her figure out what to do is something I've been struggling with. She's not exactly going to be a plumber.

Actually quite a relief. I hate computers and software.

Learning to code for the sake of learning to code should've never been anyone's priority. Instead you should've learn to code to leverage the power of computers to solve real world problems.

You know what's going to be a valuable skill for a long while, leveraging computers to solve real world problems. Significantly more code will be written in the next 5 years than has been written in human history.

The ability to understand how computers operate and the code they run on will only increase in value, the way they interface with the computer is irrelevant imo.

I can't wait until the AI bubble evaporates. GIGO (Garbage in, Garbage out.)

LLMs are dependent upon their inputs. And most of it is shite.

You literally cannot find good mechanics under 50. I know a few plumbers, electricians, carpenters that are young but almost no mechanics

There have been two threads about this on this board over the last 3 weeks or so that put the lie to this notion. According to those who are in these fields, unless you're the owner of the business or working your arse off with ot, you're not cracking 6 figures.

This.

He’s milking the technology since he’s got so much to gain from convincing the world he can solve every computer problem with his tech.

The truth is there are still many many many problems that AI is absolute garbage at solving. And human skill sets will remain valuable.

I’d steer mine towards medicine or nursing.

Does she not like that type of work or do you just think plumbing would be good for her?
