ChatGPT passes Google’s L3 developer exam but remains “humble”: I can’t replace people!

After writing college dissertations, preparing speeches for the president, once again ChatGPT surprised everyone because it touched on the hot topic, whether AI can replace human programmers or not. .

What is an L3 programmer at Google?

Recently, ChatGPT has passed the interview test for Google’s programmer position, theoretically being ‘recruited’ to work as a level 3 engineer (Level 3), with a monthly salary of USD 15,000 (about USD 180,000). /year). According to PayScale, the average monthly salary for a software engineer in the US is around $7,500 ($90,000/year). This is a desirable salary, accompanied by an arduous and challenging interview process. However, for ChatGPT, this is too easy.

Although level 3 (L3) engineer is only a position that requires entry-level or entry-level qualifications, this AI chatbot program cannot replace the work of all programmers, but it is also redundant. power to replace a group of newcomers.

When interviewing for a software engineer position, Google mainly asks about knowledge such as Graph, Tree, Array, String, and so on. ChatGPT responses were rated as ‘excellent’ and ‘fluent’. Other big tech companies like Meta, Amazon,… also often ask questions on the same topic. Thus, ChatGPT can not only be ‘accepted’ by Google, but also have the ability to be recruited into other Big Tech companies if desired.

Why does Google perform this test?

With the explosion of ChatGPT, Google really can’t stand by and watch anymore. Now, this giant is no longer worried about ‘losing face’. Google seems to be thinking ‘if you can’t compete, respond and take advantage’. The company is considering including an AI chatbot on its website because it can give short, quality answers. As a result, users no longer have to spend time finding and filtering each link on Google.

ChatGPT is one of several AI chatbots Google has put to the test, alongside LaMDA, AlphaCode and others.

ChatGPT: ‘I can’t replace human programmers’

Someone asked ChatGPT if it could replace human programmers, ChatGPT said:

‘No, ChatGPT will not replace software engineers.

ChatGPT is a tool that can assist with certain tasks, but it cannot completely replace the creativity, problem solving, and critical thinking of human programmers. Furthermore, ChatGPT requires human supervision and guidance to operate effectively.’

That’s about the present, what about in 20 years? When asked this question, ChatGPT admitted that low-level programming jobs do face risks and are likely to be replaced by AI. However, chatbot still emphasizes that it will never completely replace human programmers, but only as a support tool.
