[CSDN Editor's Note] This article is entirely written by AIGC, including titles and pictures. The main tools used include ChatGPT (GPT 3.5), Bing AI (GPT 4), and Bing Image Creator. The inspiration came from an article with a more "scary" title - "My Boss: Front-end Development Will be Replaced 100% by AI" (My boss told me: Front-end development will be 100% replaced by AI). Based on this, I also asked ChatGPT to share its perspective on this. This article took just seconds to generate, but took me over ten minutes to review and edit. (Can AI be responsible for this part of the work?).
The intuitive feeling is:
In terms of the content itself, Bing AI is closer to the original meaning and prefers translation, while ChatGPT wrote an article somewhat out of thin air. I tried using the same prompt and still the same thing. Is there such a difference between GPT 3.5 and GPT 4?
From the organization of text and language, it is obvious at first glance that quotations from scriptures and gorgeous vocabulary are still human beings’ strengths.
But overall, writing efficiency has been significantly improved. After "prompt engineers", "prompt editors" have also taken shape.

The refinement of Bing AI: two predictions that make developers anxious
I am a Reactjs developer.
I was a little scared when my boss told us that front-end development would be 100% replaced by artificial intelligence. He made this prediction before ChatGPT revolutionized the world. Now, I get really intimidated sometimes when I use ChatGPT or Copilot for GitHub because these tools are so good. If they can already do so many tasks, then they have the potential to replace developers, at least in large part.
I know that even if this prediction comes true, it will take at least ten years (this is my prediction). However, my boss predicts it won’t happen until 2030. 2030 is coming too soon for me! Sometimes I think I should move to backend development or DevOps! But I don't want to. I discussed this issue with several programmers. Some of them don't care at all, but many programmers have the same concern.
Why am I worried? That’s not to say that we developers can’t learn other skills or move to other technology stacks. But there are two main reasons to be scared!
First, AI may reduce the number of developers to 1/5 or less by 2030. There is another factor. As time goes by, there will be more and more technology companies. So, this will increase the total number of developers. Every year, more young people enter the technology field and become developers. To sum up, artificial intelligence will drastically reduce the number of developers.
Secondly, and most importantly, a new artificial intelligence product will bring huge advanced capabilities that we ordinary people are not ready for. Think Copilot, ChatGPT and Midjourney! I don't know about you, but I'm totally amazed every time every tool is released. I'm amazed at their capabilities and accuracy at this early stage. So, one of my major concerns is that one day, I will wake up and find a new AI tool that will completely replace us! Tell me this is impossible!
My boss was one of the few mentors I had early in my career. He's our project manager and the smartest guy in our office. He predicted two things.
Prediction 1: Artificial intelligence will replace at least front-end developers
Before the release of GitHub’s Copilot and ChatGPT, he predicted that AI would soon replace developers, at least front-end developers. He predicts it will happen by 2030! In fact, we don’t take his words seriously because we think it’s something that can’t possibly happen. But the first time I used Copilot and ChatGPT, I knew he was right. He said that a good code is nothing more than structured lines of code.
In the next ten years, such as GitHub and other open source platforms, there will be a huge amount of code, and artificial intelligence can be trained like a super developer with 50 years of experience!
Prophecy 2: Artificial intelligence will replace all developers
He also predicted another thing. He said that artificial intelligence will replace not only front-end developers, but all developers. That's because AI can do anything, even better than humans, he said. He said:
I thought he was joking at the time. I think this is outrageous. I feel like humans always have something unique that makes us different from machines. I think we are creative, imaginative, intuitive, emotional and moral. I think we have something that cannot be expressed in code or data, something that cannot be copied or imitated.
But now, I'm not so sure anymore. When I saw that ChatGPT could write beautiful poems, stories, and lyrics; when I saw that Copilot could write perfect codes and comments; when I saw that Midjourney could generate realistic images and videos; I began to doubt my belief. I started to wonder if my boss actually saw the future.
I do not know what to do. I don't know if I should continue doing front-end development or move to another field. I don’t know if I should embrace AI or resist it. I didn't know if I should feel excited or terrified.
I only know one thing: Artificial intelligence is changing our world, and much faster than we think.
ChatGPT: Return to rationality, AI cannot completely replace it
Can AI really completely replace front-end development?
First, let’s look at why some people think AI will replace front-end development. As technology continues to advance, AI can process large amounts of data and help developers automate many repetitive tasks. For example, AI can automatically process media files such as images, audio, and video, or automatically generate HTML and CSS code. These automated tools can greatly improve development efficiency and reduce errors.
Secondly, AI can also automatically adjust the design and functionality based on user needs. For example, when users use a website on different devices, AI can automatically adjust the layout and design to accommodate different screen sizes and device types. This not only improves user experience but also reduces development and testing costs.
However, despite the many advantages of AI technology, it still cannot completely replace front-end development. First, AI still cannot be as creative and emotional as humans. Front-end development requires creativity and imagination in order to create unique designs and functionality. For example, designers need to create unique visual elements, while developers need to create unique interactive experiences. These tasks require human experience and skills that AI cannot currently completely replace.
Secondly, AI still cannot handle human emotions and values. In front-end development, developers need to consider factors such as user experience, user needs, and social values. For example, in some cases, human emotions and values may influence design and functionality choices. This requires human judgment and decision-making capabilities, which AI cannot currently completely replace.
Finally, the application of AI in front-end development is still very limited. Currently, AI is mainly used to automate repetitive tasks and optimize performance. While AI can automate many tasks, humans are still required to make complex design and functional decisions. For example, AI still requires human guidance and control when creating complex interactive experiences.
To sum up, although AI technology has many applications in front-end development, it cannot currently completely replace human developers. Front-end development requires human experience and skills, as well as creativity and emotion, which AI cannot currently replace.
In the future, we can expect AI technology to be more and more widely used in front-end development, but human developers still need to remain vigilant to deal with ever-changing technical challenges.
