Comment Re:Will It Just Make Software Cheaper and More Acc (Score 1) 88

but for software there is already free software for everything you need

His point is, software is now easier to produce. Free software included.

No guarantee that it will be good - but there is no guarantee of that now either. How good any bit of it will be depends on the level of QA it goes through - just like it depends on that now.

Comment Re:Much of it should have happened pre-AI (Score 1) 85

I've worked with a lot of white collar workers who basically fill out forms, shuffle forms, collate form data into reports, etc.. As a db guy, I made a lot of their work easier by interconnecting databases and providing live reports.

Only bureaucratic inertia prevented me from going further - there was no 'fuzzy thinking' required. You have rules for collecting the data, rules for extracting what you want from it. Rules, rules, rules. No AI required.

Too true.

Heck, over twenty years ago I used VBA with Excel, Word, and Adobe to automate something that one guy spent an entire day doing once a week. Replaced with a one click of a button.
