Subject: Re: I Tried AI for Programming and Article Writing
Part 2 ...

The film I submitted to the AIFilmFest, I stopped in the middle, looked
at the camera, and asked the question: If Gen AI replaces junior people,
and still needs senior people to review/correct their work, who's going
to replace the senior people as they age out since the juniors are being
replaced by AI? Like Keith said, one needs to have the background to
know when AI is right or wrong.

Just food for thought ...

Regards,

George Toft
