We Can Talk to Machines Now, What Next?
My friend, Eero, back in the early 2000s, was learning website development and lamented how cumbersome it was. He found the necessity of intricate programming languages like HTML* (sigh) for creating webpages overly complex and exclusive to programmers. He envisioned a supercomputer that understood his design intentions in human language, eliminating the need for typing or coding. It seemed like a far-fetched sci-fi dream at the time.
Fast forward to today, and we are living in that once-imagined future. The advent of large language models (LLMs) has brought machines we can converse with intelligently, capable of creating websites as Eero once wished.
This era represents a significant shift in technology – a time when computers transitioned from complex calculators to entities understanding human language.
What’s the Big Deal About Machines Understanding Language?
You might wonder why this is groundbreaking, considering voice assistants like Siri and Alexa have been controlling our devices for years. However, their capabilities were limited to programmed responses and keyword detection without real context understanding.
LLMs, in contrast, grasp each word and its context, much like humans. This might not seem revolutionary now, but the resulting technological advancements will be significant. It’s akin to the invention of the wheel in its potential impact.
This natural machine interaction will transform the Infotechnology industry and our world, already intertwined with intelligent machines. With this, machines can adapt and evolve their programming, assisting in any imaginable task.
This is a monumental development in human-machine interaction.
So, What Now?
With LLM access, anyone, including Eero, can become a web developer. The era requiring specialized programming skills for computer control is ending. Software developers may become less central, while those with ideas and vision gain power.
You can now create a website by articulating your vision to a computer, making it a reality without traditional programming knowledge. This will initially impact software development but will soon extend to all aspects of life.
So, to Eero, your dream is now a reality. Seize this opportunity and fulfill your web development vision without needing to learn programming – your clear vision is key.
