Programming doesn't mean knowing a language. Programming means being able to clearly envision and sequence the logical flow of a process.
If you don't know how to turn your requirements into a clear sequence of operations, you can't "program" even if you have an AI. "Do that thing I want" turns out not to be an actual command.
Yup, that's what being a programmer means. What language you use to do this is of little relevance. Learning a programming language syntax takes a few weeks if that's your first, less than a day if you are already experienced. Understanding what people need and "explaining" it to the computer in an precise, unambiguous, repeatable way takes a lifetime.
It is like saying that anyone can now be a military officer, all they need to do is speak to their troops.
I don't know whose dumber: the NVidia CEO for saying something so comedically false, or the people who think that LLM's provide anything that keeps the general populace from being programmers.
This is obviously a sales pitch, since NVidia is heavily invested in making chips to make LLM's faster, so he's not the idiot. So that leaves anyone in his audience who doesn't immediately see through this latest snake oil.
LLM's will, if anything, increase the need for trained programmers to correct the utterly terribl
AI Means Everyone Can Now Be a Programmer, Nvidia Chief Says (reuters.com)
Of course, all you have to do is tell ChatGTP you you need an Nvidia driver and ChatGTP will write one for you!!!... better yet in a few years you'll be able to tell ChatGTP you need a graphics card and it will 3D print it for you!! YAY!!!... Oh, wait what do we need Nvidia for then ?!?... Yuk!! This is like listening to Elon Musk promise us fully self driving cars with only camera sensors (because why would you need Lidar/Radar?) and a million strong metropolis on Mars by 2050. It is absolutely incred
