Maybe at the beginning everybody will be happy but at the end people would start using slower scripting languages, less optimized, or more simply would use those existing to achieve more complex tasks and after a while the situation we know now will repeat itself.
Haha, yup. As neural network and deep learning algorithms become available in hardware, programmers will start using them as building blocks for implementing nondeterministic solutions to problems that we would create carefully crafted deterministic algorithms for.
Meaning, they will move towards "sculpting" software whereas we are "constructing" software.
We see this already in webdev. Some devs just "sculpt" WordPress sites with plugins and tweaks. With very little insight into what the various pieces of code actually do… Actually, they might have a very vague idea of what programming is…
Oh well.
