Jensen Huang says kids shouldn't learn to code — they should leave it up to AI.::At the recent World Government Summit in Dubai, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made a counterintuitive break with tech leader wisdom by saying that programming is no longer a vital skill due to the AI revolution.

Mhmm, give it another year or so. You are like people in the 90's saying while the internet may be useful for emails, that's the limit of what it can accomplish.

Forgive me if your claims of a glass ceiling ring hollow considering all the previous glass ceilings people have claimed about AI.

"An AI will never be able to write in a human like way" Check.

"An AI will never be able to generate a coherent image" Check

"An AI generated image could never be better than a real artist" Check

"AI will never be able to generate a whole video without messing it up" Check

I'm not sure how you can just flippantly say it's not going to advance or progress in any more meaningful way. This is still a very new technology and it's already shattered the limits of what people thought was possible.

Oh, AI is going to progress. LLMs, which are merely applied statistics and no more AI than Markov chains, are not, at least in any significant way (sure, they might get bigger, which won't really change them qualitatively, but as I pointed out there's no unpoisoned content to train them on, so making them bigger is moot anyway, other than as a means to temporarily inflate the bubble).

LLM is a plagiarizing machine. Who will write the code for it to plagiarize?
