Any other devs out there watching the recent moves in the AI space?
To quote The Washington Post, big tech was moving cautiously on AI, then came ChatGPT.
ChatGPT isn’t just a new chatbot with AI capabilities, the evolution in this space in the last 4 months alone have been pretty suprising:
AI Generated Music
We now have AI generated music from text:

AI Generated Stock Images + Art
And for some stock images I need for a side project I’m working on, I used one of the many AI image tools to generate supporting imagery. The one below was generated in NightCafe studio, by saying into the AI tool “Generate a cartoon picture of a bacon cheese burger on a plate”. The result was a perfectly crafted cartoon angled perfectly to fit my needs and looked beautiful and crisp, quite magnificent..!
AI Generated Code
I’ve been using the free trial version of GitHub CoPilot for about 5 weeks now. It’s not perfect, and not as refined as ReSharper, but for a relatively new software product – my god it’s scary.
I was writing some repository classes recently in C# which was an entry point into a database context. I defined the repository interface, created the new concrete class, hooked up to the interface and then before I knew it GitHub copilot filled my concrete class with methods of code which done exactly what I needed it to do – bug free – saving me about 2 hours of coding time.
“There will always be jobs in tech”
Yeah, there will. But I suspect we’ve peaked, and this is just the beginning of an evolution which sees tech implementations and solutions get cheaper, easier, and become more and more streamlined.
Time to get out of this rat-race folks before AI beats us too it.
