[CG] Re: [ontolog-forum] AI tools for coding

James, Thanks for that link. It provides important insights into the kinds of jobs that can benefit from current versions of AI. People classified as "developer" use AI tools far more than people classified as "programmer" or "data scientist". The percentages for the last two are 7% and 8%. They need absolute precision, and an occasional bug takes far more time to correct than the time they gain by using AI tools, As I keep repeating, precise evaluation is absolutely essential for a wide range of critical applications. For such tasks, any gain in speed is lost in the delays and even disasters caused by AI systems that have a "high percentage" of being correct. As one programmer said, AI systems let me write a program in 5 minutes that would usually take an hour. But then I have to spend a week in debugging it. People called developers are probably looking for suggestions that they can pass along to a programmer. And those suggestions may be good. But the programmer has the responsibility for mapping a broad suggestion to a precise solution that is designed for the exact situation.
