Introduction

Learning how AI works under the hood is fun, but when annoying people keep talking about certain things, like:

• "AI will replace programmers"
• "AI won't replace programmers, but programmers who don't use AI will be replaced by those who do"

That's an annoyance to me, so I write this post to express my opinion about all of these things. This post is not generated by AI, so you can feel the emotions when reading it; it's not a soulless text.

By the way, I use AI to correct my English grammar, and it's good.

Will AI replace programmers?

TL;DR: No.

At the end of the day, AI is just a fancy term for "algorithms"—it's all just math, so algorithms can't replace programmers (aka humans).

Will programmers who do not use AI be replaced?

TL;DR: No.

If you are a good programmer, you will last forever. Good programmers have deep knowledge in their field, critical thinking, and the ability to understand and solve problems by hand.

AI is just another tool, let's use the right tool for the right thing.

Bad things about AI

• Imagine after 5 years of work, you only have 1 year's worth of actual experience because you were so dependent on AI.
