With "AI"? Hahahaha, no. You have listened to too much hype-propaganda lies.

Yep. LLMs can do one thing well: bureaucracy. Making that cheaper means getting more of it and that is the last thing anybody sane would want. Because it ultimately kills everything.
That won't stop TPTB from employing robot police to beat human protesters, instead of employing humans to do the same job.
Which is really not rational. There are always enough sadist scum that are willing to beat people as long as they are not held accountable for it.
Sure. And on the minus-side, everything stops working after a short while. Not feeding people is something even an authoritarian asshole like Xi (or Trump) cannot afford.
It is. When the orange rapist talks about how "we are winning", that "we" does not include you.
Some of us actually prefer reading stuff on dead trees rather than eye straining screens (e-ink or not).
Yes, some (=few) do that. And hence it is a specialty item. For books, there are now "print on demand" machines that can make single copies cheap enough. But mass-production of books is over or rather will be over when the printing-presses for that reach the end of their lifetime.
Yes. And with "AI" the pay will get even lower in the "trash" segment than it already is.
Yep, the spec is broken right there. There are already two major cases where this will not be true: (a) no dog at that time and (b) no dog at all, because no customers. Obviously this task was defined by an incompetent that does not understand border cases.
Incidentally, I had some exams in my CS studies where I had to fix the questions because they were broken. Always got the points from the TAs doing the grading in the review, although in one case I had to suggest I could explain why the question was broken to the prof.
How long until people quit learning programming languages?
Never. There is tons of advanced stuff where you need that knowledge and were AI cannot do anything because insight is required. If you just do simple coding with CPU and memory overkill and no security requirements, sure, "AI" may do most of it. But that is not the situation in most important projects.
Cannot be good or they would have given us that. Instead they push a meaningless "has looked at it" number.
When Stack Overflow goes down?
You do not. But it is all short-term hype and get-rich-quick now. These assholes do not even start to think about strategy or how things ae supposed to work tomorrow.
Apparently, the numbers on actual use are pretty bad, so they now go for "Looked at it!", which is worse than meaningless.
we still get paper junk mail where I live.
It was always a temporary solution and its run is done. With a global data network, physical delivery of news on paper is a historic thing.
And whoever modded that down just provided evidence that I am right. Well done, moron.
Any program which runs right is obsolete.
