GitHub CEO: Artificial intelligence will not replace developers

“…we’ve seen the potential of GPT3 and the conversations on how it can make it more efficient for developers to code. GitHub has similar capabilities in Copilot as well. Do you think AI will replace programmers and where do you see the future going for junior developers?”

Dohmke: I think the next generation of developers will be used to AI and it’s going to be incredible. Technologies such as ChatGPT will enable a new way of learning, so young developers can interact with AI and learn at their own pace, whether it’s through tutorials or scripts in a predefined storyline.

It will also enable developers to be more productive, and we’ve seen this in Copilot. When you start using Copilot, it doesn’t have any information about you, so it uses the Codex model, which is a subvariant of the GPT model, to suggest code to you. But as you type, if it suggests code you don’t like, you can reject it.

You don’t believe AI will replace developers someday?

Dohmke: No, and it’s the same as how a self-driving car still needs to know where you want to go, and a script writer still has to write the story. Obviously, developers will still have to write the story and AI cannot do that. It will support the menial tasks and things like writing test cases will probably be unnecessary.

we ain’t tripping, AI got nothing on devs, definitely not

Top universities snap into action over AI cheating

oooohhhh the irony, Professors be like we are not scared of AI, also Universities proceed to begin placing measures to stop AI cheating, lol

Group of Eight (Go8), which comprises the University of Sydney, UNSW, Monash, UniMelb, UWA, ANU, the University of Queensland, and the University of Adelaide, is “proactively tackling the emergence of AI” through redesigning assessments and using new targeted detection strategies, Chief Executive Vicki Thomson said.

“Our universities have revised how they will run assessments in 2023,” she said. This includes “Live+” exams for offshore and online students, in which a supervisor monitors their computer screen throughout, more in-person supervision for local students, and greater use of pen and paper exams and tests. They will also limit the use of “Record+” exams, in which a supervisor reviews the computer screen after the exam, for units with “low-integrity risks”.

Some of these universities are also “specifically addressing AI in their academic integrity policies and/or their student Code of Conduct”, meaning if students breach policies they can be marked down or failed.

A Sydney University spokesperson said: “At the moment, we’ve seen very few cases where AI is suspected, and the work has been of a very low standard that would not achieve a pass mark. However, we know that could change and are preparing accordingly”.

A lot was said by different representatives of the Universities part of the Go8 about how they plan to prevent the use of AI to cheat on exams and it looks like they are using the current state of ChatGPT to make their rules instead of where it’s going.

Go8 seems to be relying on the fact that the current chatGPT doesn’t really flow great when writing essays, it has a dry tone and doesn’t propose arguments to various data points buuuuuttt also forgetting chatGPT is only getting better so all these will be ironed out over time

The war between the educational system and AI should be a fun one to watch, AI is currently winning the Battle though.
