The CEO of the IT company DevRain shared his thoughts on the future of generative AI — it will not take away the work of software developers, but QA may reach

«I started taking a course on AI-assisted software development for Israelis. Before that, there were several large IT and non-IT companies,» Krakovetsky said on Facebook.

He also talked about his predictions for the development of AI in development. Next, direct speech:

1. I don’t believe that AI will take away the work of software developers — everything is quite complex, dynamic and most of the work is integration right now.
2. I do not believe that DevOps will be greatly affected, because the complexity of the work is only increasing.
3. Technical writers, QA, developers of plugins and modules will come under attack.
4. But the same QAs will be able to move more easily to Automated QA and UI-automated QA.
5. SEO will get a new round of development when search will become completely generative.
6. Data & AI Fundamentals will be a must have for everyone.
7. Mid-level managers will need to be able to train simple ML models. Employees — know some of the low/no code automation tools.
8. Organizations will have their own OneLake/Data Warehouse. And this will be the result of a real digital transformation.
9. There are already dozens of tools that summarize meetings. It will be a commodity very soon, and it will be strange to use a third-party tool for this.
10. Video courses will be recorded using digital avatars and voiceover (even the voice of the lecturer). Now it takes a lot of time and is expensive to produce.
11. At a certain point, no one will be able to distinguish the text/images (videos a little later) that the AI ​​has created. The issue of moving away from old approaches is a matter of time.
12. Basic education is more important than ever. And the price of a good mentor/speaker/lecturer will increase. Much.
13. AI will be able to generate new knowledge and do what we call the process of «reasoning».
14. One of the next steps of large language models is the addition of personality + political worldview. Each political party will have its own fine-tuned model when it becomes a commodity. And that’s soon.
15. A verified knowledge base in a certain topic will be the greatest value.
16. Generative AI will add a large layer of work to developers.
17. Generative AI will add a lot of trouble to startups and innovators, because with the use of gene AI, the cost of replication will go to zero.
18. 18. Prompt engineering will be a basic skill. At the level with knowledge of Excel and a foreign language.
19. The majority of PMs are not yet ready for a paradigm shift and the arrival of generative AI. Customers, too. Therefore, there will be a certain inertia and for a few more years sites and applications will be riveted «as usual». Then they will understand that it is in vain, but that will happen later.
20. Educating employees on AI skills is becoming almost the only way to stay competitive.
21. CORRECT use of technology and AI is the driver of FAST growth where there are processes, personnel, vision, desire.
22. Universities and other educational institutions got a unique chance to return interest in basic education and become a foundation for business and innovation. Private initiatives will not be able to meet the demand, so universities must now make full use of these opportunities.

We will remind you that earlier on the Internet there was a lively discussion of a story from Reddit, which at first can be taken as a pure fiction — it is alleged that the Gemini AI chatbot from Google answered the requests of a student who was doing his homework, and at some point suddenly became angry and began to threaten him. However, the student’s brother provided a link to this conversation with the chatbot, which indeed has this Gemini response. Oleksandr Krakowetsky, at the request of dev.ua, commented on this case.
