I can see someone in the future watching a program run and asking “wow, is that ai? A PERSON typed those cryptic letters? No way!”

    I think you much overestimate the intelligence of the average human.

    I was just saying that if you show a computer program run something (let’s say a choose your own adventure text game or something) to an average 12 year old today, its likely they would say, thats ai! Because they probably wont even know that a human could write code themselves to do something like draw a circle on screen.

    Also, I would have loved to learn actual assembly and talk directly to the hardware. But like you said there is no use at all for it nowadays so thats going to be a lost skill.

      I don’t know why we should take 12 year olds as an example? Surely you didn’t know certain things at 12 that you know now. Assuming you are 13+

      I’m just saying that things will trickle into common knowledge. And there will always be people who know jack shit. Obviously.

      But when you play music from a streaming service you don’t go like. Wow people had to rewind cassette tapes! No, you understand the progression music carriers have made and just enjoy the music. You could buy a tape recorder and tapes and they are still available, if you would want. The same applies to coding, and other technologies.

      You can still lessen assembly, it’s not that hard actually, just tedious. It can play TIS-100 if you want a “fun” way to learn it.
