Why not interview Emily Bender and review "The AI Con"?
It irks me that people who do not understand what a job is think AI can do it. A developer probably spends about 10% of their time actually writing code. Rest of the time is spent figuring what the users need/want, or modifying/debugging existing code.
The joke is "AI will replace developers, as soon as users are able to tell it exactly what they want."
Also, wasn't COBOL, the "english-like" language, supposed to make programmers obsolete?
IMHO we should create an AI to replace VCs and CEOs - should be much easier!
