Will All Software AI-Generated? More Technologists Believed So

Many technologists believe that all software code will be AI-generated in the future.
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, predicts that almost all code will be generated by AI, while Sridhar Vembu, Founder at Zoho, believes AI will replace 90% of repetitive programming tasks.
However, not everyone agrees that AI will completely replace human programmers. Linus Torvald, creator of Linux, dismisses such claims, stating that AI is “90% marketing and just 10% reality.”
Amjad Masad, CEO at Replit, suggests that humans should focus on learning to think critically and break down problems, rather than learning to code.
The debate highlights the ongoing discussion about the role of AI in software development and its potential impact on human programmers.

An increasing number of technologists say that all code will be AI-generated.

We collected some of the most notorious recent statements:

• Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, has predicted that almost all of the code in the future will be AI-generated.

• Amjad Masad, CEO at Replit [in the picture above], said, “I no longer think you should learn to code.” He added, “Learn how to think and break down problems as you would with humans and machines.”

• Sridhar Vembu, Founder at Zoho, predicted that AI will replace more than 90 per cent of the repetitive programming tasks. “When people say ‘AI will write 90% of the code,’ I readily agree because 90% of what programmers write is ‘boiler plate.”

However, not everyone agrees that AI will completely replace human programmers. Linus Torvald, the creator of Linux, dismissed such claims, stating, “AI is 90% marketing and just 10% reality.”

Should’ve added a few more footnotes to that one https://t.co/OzNk3nRnOr
