The moment that NVIDIA CEO said that, I just knew has never been a Software Engineer ever, software engineering is far more than writing code

I am a seasonal programmer. Usually to finish a program I need 6 months to fully working program. Now only 3 days with quality code. Impressive.

AI is particularly good if you're a full-stack developer because it helps offload some of the more tedious tasks specific to the many different technologies we work on. It's like having a junior dev at your disposal who's actually not too bad and can write base code in a few seconds to get you going, but never contradicts you or argues with you or competes with you for pay rises and bonuses etc and doesn't tell everyone in the company exactly how much of your work they did. You just gotta keep in mind though that at the end of the day, they're still a junior.

Just a tip for newer devs: I coach new devs and have seen that the ones who over-rely on chatGPT end up struggling, flailing, and starting projects over constantly. They don't establish a solid understanding of the fundamentals and become a bit stagnant, while their code from chatGPT gets buggier and harder to work with. Use AI for specific things and use it to explain concepts to you that you don't understand. have it give code examples. ask for analogies. Treat it like a teacher rather than a laborer and you'll see your skills grow more quickly. While it can't write a multiplayer FPS in Unity for you, it can help with specific problems like how to calculate an object's trajectory if you're specific enough.

I personally will never stop coding even AI can do it better. In my experience, when AI generated code doesn't work as intended, I have to spend hours if not days getting it to do what I want. For simple 10-100 lines code, I just do it my self as I find it takes me longer to explain to AI what I want and the code that I get is not always what I wanted because my explanation was bad or I was just misunderstood. I have a passion in computer architecture and operating systems but I will never stop loving what I do even if AI can do it better. NEVER EDIT: If you've ever written code before, each programmer has a very specific way they do it. It's like a hand writing. I really don't like the way AI does it even if it way more organised than mine, there is a method to the madness.

I've tried the best and latest AI tools in the market and it "kind of" works when you know what you're doing. But when it comes to production grade code tailored with some strict docs and configurations, everything failed. You can't just go ahead and say "Hey OpenAI write me optimized code for another amazon with better SEO and performance" this is not how things works! There're a LOT of things that go into programming than just writing code. We're not language translators or essay writers. There's a big difference between PROGRAMMING and CODING. The beauty of human curiosity, self learning and thinking about new ideas are the things that AI can never replace in near future.

AI is good if you are actually a programmer and know what you are doing..

5:44 is the holy grail of this video. "AI tools might be giving developers a false sense of confidence". AI is powerful only if you're humble and having self-awareness that you need to improve your critical thinking the most instead of instant results.

I've had enough of the Abominable Intelligence. Nvidia's CEO is not only wrong, he's also stupid.
