2026... Anthropic CEO Said AI Would Write 90% of Code in 3-6 Months

He cannot say "AI is just a bubble who will disappear in 3-6 monts”…

in other words, it is just advertisment for his product(s)…

Zero advertising and I more or less think this will 95%

You get on the bandwagon now or you’ll lose tomorrow. Period.

people believe and input a lot of money.
what i not like is supporting military.
and btw ai supports hackers.

I will have to ask Claude :grin:

I for one am writing code because I want to and I won’t let some AI take that fun away from me. Thankfully software development is not my source of income.

Just leaving this here: https://wlockett.medium.com/you-have-no-idea-how-screwed-openai-actually-is-8358dccfca1c

Is there a place to read this without registering?

AI will write lots of code. But real people will need to foolproof it. Is that 10% human hands and brains fixing the AI hallucinations? AI is a tool, a screwdriver still need a human to put the screws in place correctly and tight using the tool. You know, since this started (AI being used in the industry), I’ve fixed a lot a AI mess created by other people. It has problems with “new things” or “interpretations” of the contents or the reality. The real fear about AI is mediocre or lazy people assuming that AI is correct all the time and copy/paste mess. AI says it is, even when incorrect. Currently, a typical AI dialog is like:

– Write me a languagex function receiving par1 and par2, process the xyz transform and return a tuple (x,y,z).

* Processing…
Here it is … And write something.

  • Looks promising.

– AI, I’ve tested it, but when par1 is zero, it causes a mess.

– You are absolutely correct. When par1 is zero we probably will the send the rocket to the sun. Here is a version with a correction:

* Processing…
Here it is …

  • And write something. Looks promising, but par2 negative still make a mess and the AI did not care at this point.

I can’t read the full article from the original post. But I agree with the headline. AI is able to write most of the code.

I started writing an app 13 days ago (not in Xojo).

AI wrote 95% of the code, maybe more. I have the feeling I only wrote 100 lines out of 10000+.

The app is almost ready, with 15 different screens, online and offline database sync, notifications, a clean and good looking UI, cached images for faster loading, internationalization, a bit of web-scrapping … And more.

The same code base without AI would have taken me months to accomplish.

I review all code that is produced, except for UI definitions, that I verify visually when running the app.

I still love writing code, but I am slow compared to what the AI assistant can produce with a clean, step by step and detailed prompt.

My 15 years+ of development experience enables me to give the AI assistant the correct instructions and review written code thoroughly. It also enables me to understand how code works, test and find bugs.

Here you go. For me it is the same thing.

But furthermore, if things are getting more complex (recently needed to fix a program largely written with AI doing Dynamic Programming Dynamic programming - Wikipedia ) the time needed for debugging will increase exponentially, because you first need to find out what the code is doing, why certain choices have been made and where the mistakes are being made. I must add that I really found AI great in describing and analysing code/routines to speedup the understanding of code blocks and their usage.

If in the future AI will start writing the majority of code, nobody will get the 15+ years of development experience needed to give the correct instructions and review this code.

Look, just consider who is saying it. When what you have is a hammer, everything is a nail. This guy’s job is literally to make you think you need his company.

On an unrelated note, in the next six months your family is going to be drinking a LOT more milkshakes. You better buy one of my milkshake machines now to prepare.

History teaches us that bubbles exist in the real world. It also teaches us to be wary of them.

Precisely because of the vested interests surrounding them.

Regardless of the noise surrounding politics, financial interests, shark investors, and other factors, at the end of the day, AI has had a significant impact.

I’ve encountered fatal errors in AI-generated code. But it has helped me in other aspects of my coding.

If you’re an AI expert, you’ll probably tell me that all the answers are actually a percentage that could be correct… or very incorrect.

The more data an AI has, the more likely it is to give a correct answer.
According to the probability
Period.

AI does work.

He also says that you need more NVIDIA GPUs
