I'm an actuary so naturally code a lot. Chat GPT is helpful but also incredibly bad. What it produces is more helpful as an initial idea which usually needs heavy modification and then optimized for performance. It's great for getting ideas, or pasting in when you've got an error to get a guess. Usually it figures it out with 50% success rate. Assuming it gets a lot better, it could make my work even more efficient. But I'd always still need to know how to code, because only a human can give professional (reputation based) quality assurance. That may be a particular requirement of actuarial work however. we still have two pilots on every plane even though they don't do anything (I exaggerate for effect).
You make the point much better than me. You an actuary that uses coding. You are not a professional programmer. At the foothills of AI you find ChatGPT 50% useful/accurate. That number is going to only go up. You will remain an actuary but, I would hazard, your coding skills/needs will gradually fade away. If so, being a professional coder is an endangered species.
If you like our pods we would be extremely grateful if you could share with your friends. helps us keep them going. Cheers
