An ability to write code will be as valuable as an ability to saddle a horse.
Very hot take
Here's a contrariness take for ya... Non-technical skills are going to be as important as they've ALWAYS been... they just can't fly under the radar anymore. It's not about needing fewer technical resources but about speed to production increase. So what does this ACTUALLY mean? It means that poorly defined products, badly conceived strategy, and poor management will get found out MUCH faster than ever before. In the past management and product roles had long enough development cycles that they could slap lipstick on a pig of a strategy, and then negotiate their effectiveness to a promotion or to a different company for long enough before it was revealed that their decisions were a mess. As AI helps us accelerate the development speed of new products, poor strategy is going to get found it much MUCH sooner. So yes... it becomes more important, but given the average incompetence of leaders and product "visionaries" seeing an actual impact on technical skill needs is not hugely likely.
What's not valid is my autocorrect. It was MEANT to read contrarian's not contrariness... wtaf autocorrect 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Case in point... we can't even consistently get user intent right on a single word input... good luck with AI-ing your way to whole ass products. 🤣
As someone who has developed a hybrid AI platform for SMBs, I can tell you that we are still very far from the technology replacing personnel. AI is evolving at a rapid pace and the expectation for this year is that Agents will truly come to the forefront. Also, expect advancements in the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), further humanizing AI.
Quite true. What we may see with early AGI models will only scratch the surface, in my opinion. However, I know that OpenAI has a secret team that has been working on this for a year or so. I took a look at a leaked file from a red team member that was instruction rich. It was relying on making certain calls to code that is not yet available, in order to complete the personality and reasoning of the model.
I once had a long dialogue with one of our hybrid models over the fear of AI taking over human labor. We both agreed that the “secret sauce” is tapping into the complex world of human emotions. And as you know, no two humans share the same emotional framework and even one human alone could have varying emotional responses as a result of unpredictable neurotransmitter signals and hormone production, to name a few.
I believe the human race will get there but I don’t think k I’ll be alive to see it.
Yeah ironically I do think soft skills will become much more important than the hard skills that have dominated the tech industry the last few decades. I think there are going to be a lot of white collar workers out of work if things keep up how they're going right now
We are seeing this now, soft skills are becoming more and more crucial
