Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says AI will replace pure coding first
Overview
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says AI models will fully replace pure coding first, while software engineering that involves architecture and judgment will last longer, according to IT之家 (IThome).
He argues that a person who supplies 5% of the work as judgment and taste can multiply productivity about 20 times while AI handles the other 95%.
An earlier AI Era (新智元) report said Amodei predicted coding work would disappear quickly and advised people to learn piano instead of programming. The IThome report, based on a long interview, does not mention the piano advice in that form; it says Amodei urges learning to play piano and points to biotechnology, especially peptide and cell-based therapies, as a field AI could accelerate. It also says people must practice using AI rather than merely relying on it.
