So, what do we make out of this? Is college worth it if your technical knowledge is soon to be replaced, not to mention the debt that you'll pay for the rest of your life?
I worked with a customer the other day where he was on an old, legacy web platform of ours and wanted to rejuvenate its appearance.
This legacy platform came out about 9 years ago when "mobile-friendly" was just a catch phrase at the time.
Not a web designer, he did a chat with an AI agent and applied a ton of CSS per the AI suggestions and the support that I provided as to how to make those changes and, yeah, it looked great!
This is just the beginning. People who know nothing about what they're doing but replacing out a programmer from the old days that would charge by the hour to make changes like that--it's no longer a thing.
So, what do we make out of this? Is college worth it if your technical knowledge is soon to be replaced, not to mention the debt that you'll pay for the rest of your life? What's the point? My first thought would be to go back to physical work.
But um, yeah, that's being replaced too. Self-driving cars ("see ya Uber drivers!"), robots that don't age, ...what will we have left to make money to survive? And sorry, musician friends, in a simple text anyone can ask AI to create a song for them and all of your hours, months, and years of hard work creating them are simply--gone. We. Are. In. A. New. World.
