I really wanted to go beyond these quick gut reactions that I’ve seen so much of online, so I tried using ChatGPT for a few weeks to help me implement a hobby software project and took notes on what I found interesting. I’m a professor who is interested in how we can use LLMs (Large Language Models) to teach programming.

And everyone has opinions about how these language models and art generation programs are going to change the nature of work, usher in the singularity, or perhaps even doom the human race. AI users say that AI programming (66%) and data analysis (59%) are the most needed skills. Many AI adopters are still in the early stages.

This kind of change has happened before: in the early days of computing, programmers “wrote” programs by plugging in wires, then by toggling in binary numbers, then by writing assembly language code, and finally (in the late 1950s) using early programming languages like COBOL (1959) and FORTRAN (1957).

Maybe it’s surprising that ChatGPT can write software, maybe it isn’t; we’ve had over a year to get used to GitHub Copilot, which was based on an earlier version of GPT. What Software Are We Talking About? Be very careful about documents that require any sort of precision. It has helped to write a book. It’s much more.

You will find that the paradigms you choose for other parties won’t align with the expectations for children, and modifying your software to accommodate children is difficult or impossible. Few things within a home are restricted–possibly a safe with important documents. It’s important to account for children from the beginning.

Fetishizing pair programming. Agile is not, and never was, about getting developers to write software faster. If you were involved with professional programming in the 80s and 90s, you may remember how radical it was (and, in many shops, still is) to put software developers in touch with users and customers. Neckbeards?

If it’s not ChatGPT, it will be something else, possibly something users aren’t even aware of: AI tools embedded in documents, spreadsheets, slide decks, and other tools in which AI fades into the background. AI is everywhere, and even if the initial frenzy around ChatGPT has died down, the big picture hardly changes.
