* Twitter files for bankruptcy. * Bing grows in popularity as it incorporates OpenAI technologies. * Web3 starts its decline into irrelevance. VCs stop investing. * Crypto contagion continues but remains relevant due to CBDCs. * XR becomes the new hype technology courtesy of the Apple XR launch. * Uber will decline as Cruise self driving robo-taxis expand across the US.

Honestly, I think more likely Brave Search which already has some cool features, see: Goggles might be quicker to jump on the GPT bandwagon.

I don't expect ChatGPT will have much impact in 2023 or in general. ChatGPT etc, will be used by some devs as just as some devs like IDEs vs editors, or how often devs search the web or SO. I've rarely ever been limited by how long it takes to implement an idea, or coming up with an idea when I could clearly express the problem.

Edit: What would be cool is if ChatGPT et al, could take an implementation as input and generate all the test descriptions in natural language (source too, why not). That would expose unintended hidden or mistaken assumptions in the implementation.

you mean the low code tools like wix that make billions? Look I see what you mean, but even you have to admit that helping generate the basic structure for something will save days of development and the fact that it can probably learn a new framework of tool xyz quicker than us will give a big boost.

I don't think WIX is a low code tool, it's a template editor, PowerPoint on the web. But, what's a low code tool?

Powerpoint is too a low code tool ;)

yes. Everybody tends to think their business requirements are very unique. In reality not so much. Also it does not need to replace -all- coders. but if ONE smart Architect is able to bang out a mid tier MVP all by himself by feeding a textbox, you might feel trouble approaching.

> Everybody tends to think their business requirements are very unique How did that pan out for low-code tools? Or hell, the advent of high-level languages in the 60's and 70's? Did either of these paradigm shifts reduce the amount of coders needed? For these tools to really eat up into demand for programmers, it would need to increase productivity enough to: 1. Meet the ever-growing demand for software 2. Close the…

The other thing people don't realize is if one "architect" is able to bangout an mvp super fast with an AI what is stopping others? Then wouldn't the over supply just mean mvps are now severely commoditized? Youve just moved the demand else where. Instead of "idea people" we will now have "mvp people"?
