We have become aware than certain intelligent people might have learned to play music based on copyrighted content without...oh...wait...that's allowed.
Any AI that produces output without sufficiently crediting the authors of the inputs it trained on is correctly regarded as an application that just speeds up plagiarism.
Any human intelligence that produces output without sufficiently crediting the authors of the inputs it trained on is correctly regarded as an application that just speeds up plagiarism.
Thus if you read Shakespeare and write a sonnet, really Shakespeare should be credited and not you for learning how to write a sonnet.
Your view is in contradiction because the AI learns in the same manner as humans and we credit humans for their unique sonnets imitating the sonnets of others.
What if Gig Workers Banded Together to Resist Algorithms?
What would that look like?:
If Gig Worker then Resist Algorithm.
Oh...wait...
RAD-tools have their place, but they don't replace code. Never did, never will.
Actually, RAD tools have consistently lowered development time. In the 90's some of the first of these tools were Visual C++ and Delphi. As the parent poster says, they take care of a lot of nonsense or in other words make developing faster.
In modern codebases like Xcode using the RAD tools like storyboards and autolayout can reduce the size of your codebase by nearly half compared with places that do the UI in code, like Foursquare.
For most things it is a gradient, but it is good to be on the RAD side of the gradient. These modern low code and no code products may not completely replace coding, but for some typical usages, an online store for example, may be able to deliver a product with little or no code until you want a feature they don't come with and then you are back to coding.
If, in the final 7,000 years of their reign, dinosaurs became hyperintelligent, built a civilization, started asteroid mining, and did so for centuries before forgetting to carry the one on an orbital calculation, thereby sending that famous valedictory six-mile space rock hurtling senselessly toward the Earth themselves—it would be virtually impossible to tell.
Would it though?
Dinosaur industrial-lization should leave geological clues, just like human industry did.
Plus, the troodontid moon base would be a total giveaway.
I'm not sure how the slippery-slope argument applies here.
It's not really a slippery-slope argument when we have an instance of something very similar occurring in the present. See my reply to the original poster:

To program is to be.
