Sam Altman argued it was "already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took" for coders to write software.

Altman’s remarks in his tweet drew an overwhelmingly negative reaction.

“You’re welcome,” one user responded. “Nice to know that our reward is our jobs being taken away.”

Others called him a “f***ing psychopath” and “scum.”

“Nothing says ‘you’re being replaced’ quite like a heartfelt thank you from the guy doing the replacing,” one user wrote.

    I agree, the “Says Their Time Is Over” part is clickbaity, but the sentiment is the same. He’s thanking “manual programmers” for taking us to this point, clearly implying that from now on they will be no longer required

      I can understand how that can be read into what he said.

      I was simply pointing out that the headline is lying about what he said.

      And he’s out of his mind or lying just the same. AI needs constant supervision, and if a human has to understand the code well enough to debug it, they may as well learn about it the code by – writing it themselves…

        He’s basically a salesman, you can’t expect him to say the truth against his interests

          Someone who believes or pretends to believe they’re telling the truth when they try to sell me magic farts is still a lunatic or an asshole.
