I'm not a coder, but my job requires a bunch of menial, boring coding. I do numerical simulations. After mathematically understanding the numerical method, it's basically half a step above data entry. There's also a bunch of legacy fortran code I have to build on that has zero documentation and three letter variables. This would be one of the few actually good applications of text generating machine learning imo.

Or your employer would invest some money in a proper tool for your job.

Nobody has built a tool that executes a mathematical method that I have developed or at least adapted, at least not before I publish the method.

If it has three letter variables, chances are it was also written by someone that doesn't want to code either

It's so old that it was for purposes of saving memory.

Yeah. I love programming. Donate your job to nerds like me, but who need a job.

This is another fine example of where assumptions get you no where on the internet. My job isn't coding but it requires knowing to do it well. If I exit the job market, as per your request, I cannot be replaced by a coder. Believe it or not, most jobs that require a coding skillset are not about coding. Crazy, right? 😲

"assumptions"? Maybe consider how "I'm so sick of coding" implies you're doing coding? I'm so sick of driving, oh no somebody 'assumed' I'm a driver instead of a mechanic. Believe it or not, most people 'assume' something when you use sentences that imply it. CrAZy, riGhT? 😲

They said they are doing some coding at their non-coding job. It would be good if AI could replace amateur programmers, it would make better code and take a load off the workers

Not in the first comment, and I replayed to the second one only because they were acting like a stereotypical obnoxious redditor. As for LMM use, sure it could replace them, just give it a little more time and more money and a bit more money and some more money and also enough data server centres to suck dry entire lakes

lol what a douche.
