Ask HN: Is HN in denial about the impact of AI?
I saw a few discussion about the impact of AI on developers on HN. It seems, while not a consensus, a lot of folks here think this LLM thing is overblown and will somehow go away or the AI progress will not be as bad as everyone is trying to make it to be. While others are pointing out that the job of a developer is not all about coding, but gathering requirements, understanding customer needs and then coding. So nothing to worry about here.
Then I was reading other forums such as the VFX subredit and a lot of people are worried and agreeing that the field is dying a slow death. New people who studied VFX or similar are looking for career change. While veterans are seen it coming and take solace that they are not far away from retirement age.
Am I reading too much into this? Is the recent progress in AI just the next Bitcoin/IPv6/3D TV's..etc? or do we need to prepare for the worse right now?
