    So just another reason for the doom sayers to abandon programming completely. Get out now! Certainly by the end of the year it will all be over. Then I can look forward to asking even more money since the pool of programmers is shrinking. ChatGPT becomes ChatRepair to automate bug fixing for less • The Register[^]

                does ChatGPT program itself? Does it control the power to the server it runs on? Who's the boss?

                              ha, truth. Clearly I'm not thinking properly. In the never ending hunt for free code (meaning management need not staff an engineering department) I suspect the thought is I can get most of this written and then let kiddies debug it. But there are two sides to the coin. If "AI" can write code, it can also generate bugs as fast. It should be entertaining.

                                        That reminds me, years ago my boss asked why I wanted a faster PC. I said so I could make errors in microseconds, where it took me milliseconds before!
