Anon… I’m sure you can’t afford therapy, which is probably the biggest injustice of all here. You are worth more, and work can have dignity. Use that extra time to make money without a boss. You don’t need college. Fuck the system. Learn to program or draw or make things. All of that requires time and probably money, but luckily you you have time, and there are resources on the Internet that allow you to learn on the cheap/free. You don’t need their shit… You can be independent. It’s hard, but your life is hard now, so what do you have to lose?
The hard part of app development is identifying and translating all of the nuances of human desires and unanticipated needs into a working application. ChatGPT is on par with junior programmers - it can produce simple programs, help contribute to complex ones, but will struggle (for now) with the complexities of dealing with the major hurdles of software dev.
Eventually it will reach a point where it can reason about human needs and motivation autonomously (probably stacking multiple specialized LLMs or similar together for each area of reasoning, unless something new comes about) but we’re a ways away from that yet.
I think the big disruption that ChatGPT will cause near-term is the same as that of generative AI art - the low specialization portion of labor will be replaced, eg stock photo producers and basic CRUD/site apps. For the rest, it will be a tool that gives those that adopt it alongside skill a serious leg up.
In ten years I think the conversation will be different, but two years to learn means 8 years of good salary and time to adapt to that future. Better than $15/hr* with no healthcare in rural US.
