This is a fair point. Although it’d be fun in the absolutely extreme scenario people are presenting here where all the coders would lose their coding job but get coding jobs generating random AI training data instead.
Some of the ways both critics and shills present the future of this technology are kinda nuts.
I actually work on generating and evaluating this data.
The more I see, the less I fear real coding jobs going away. The amount of work required to get good quality training data that can keep up with evolving technology is enormous.
LLM companies hire people to create information. They already hire math majors to work on high quality math data, for example.
