Question Will AI decrease demand and salaries?

Hello everyone.

I am new to web development and it goes well so far.

I'm bit scared of AI development. Let's say you needed 10 developers for a project before ChatGPT and now you need 8.

With the development of AI, we will need even less.

Why do people think AI won't decrease demand and salaries of web developers? It's logic for me, what am I missing?

You don't understand how wrong are you, just ask GPT

Explain how I’m wrong?

I have literally asked it about car issues multiple times.

You are a dumb fuck

I have also used it to fix my fridge, with zero knowledge about how fridges work I could find the fault and replace it from eBay without having to call anyone.

Ya all just super short sighted. That’s fact

My mom wouldn’t even know what the answer meant. She wouldn’t know what “alternator” is or “belt tensioner” let alone have the tools.

You can get help from chat GPT for your car BECAUSE you sort have a base of knowledge.

How about asking it something you don’t oboe like got to perform a heart transplant.

Heart transplant? Okay you’re just being childish. Ask your mum if it can tell her how to change the clock.

There is a difference in different requirements and context.

And no, I had zero base knowledge of my car,l.

You are basing your entire argument on your own mum and not on what people in the real world are doing and what is possible

Also let’s be realistic, your point falls apart at “base knowledge” because every kid these days will gain that in school through computing. And they will grow up with AI.
