AI or artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm. From generating content to creating graphic designs, AI seems to be an expert in everything. Almost every industry is at a certain level of risk from AI. Is the web development industry falls in this paradigm or is it safe? Today we are going to explore this angle and find out all the reasons and causes for the same.
 
Will AI Replace Web Developers? What is Their Current Role in Web Development?
To state the fact AI has already made its inroads in the field of web development. It is using new and improved tools like OpenAI’s to GitHub Copilot. But there is one important question that you need to ask here – are the codes generated by AI good on quality?
 

AI functions on information and existing parameters. It tends to develop and build on the existing information. In other words, you have to provide it with a basic guide for AI to come up with something better. It cannot create something out of the blue. As a result, AI is good for carrying out repetitive work where there is a fixed code to follow. ...
... The moment it is about generating something brand new, AI coms up with codes that might seem ok at first glance but when you delve deeper you will see that each code has to be quality tested before you can go ahead and implement them. In short, you will end up spending more time, because each code has to be tested separately to make sure that it makes sense.

To highlight another point here, the code generated by AI lacks creativity and innovation. The codes are a buildup of the existing one. As we have already discussed, AI cannot generate new codes hence, it cannot help you with a problem that you might not have encountered before while generating a code. AI will be as helpless as you are.

Moreover, when it comes to complex problem solving and bug fixes, AI can hardly help you. It lacks the human understanding of scenarios that have led to the bug issues. Unless the source and the reason of the bug issue have been identified one cannot fix them. For a web developer it is easy because he has a better understanding of the subject matter. He knows what to look for in order to ensure the bug fixing immediately. But in case of AI, you need to feed the information before it can execute the job.

Furthermore, for successful web development by AI it needs clear and specific instructions to do the work. But the problem is - often the client is not aware of what he wants. And at times there is a big difference between what he wants and what he needs. Only a seasoned web developer will know the difference through client communication and understanding. The AI will not go out of the way to interact with the client. Rather it will wait for the client to give specific instructions and in case, the client fails to do so, the AI will not deliver. But this is not how a web developer works. They will be in constant touch with the clients and will interact with them at regular basis to make sure that both of them are on the same page.

AI has no understanding of privacy or ethical consideration. While preparing the code it will not bother whether there is any kind of violation or not. It will just go ahead and execute the job assigned. But this will never be the case with web developers. They know that they cannot generate any codes that violates the privacy of the customers or breaks the ethical considerations. As such the code generated by web developers will be more suited for the job.

 
What Does the Future of AI and Web Development Look Like?
As we look into the future, we cannot deny that inspite of so many shortcomings, AI will be a part of web development. But AI will work in a collaborative manner with web developers. It does not have the potential to work on its own. It needs web developers to provide it with the basic information so that it can come up with better and advanced codes. It short, AI will be a tool used by web developers for web development Newcastle. AI will not be able to replace the web developers.
 
Summing it Up:
There is no alternative but to work with skilled and expert web developers for web development Newcastle. You cannot just do away with web developers. At the most, you can hire professionals who use AI to advance their work.
 
What is your take on this? How do you feel about AI trying to take over every possible industry? Is this a good thing or a bad one? Let us know your feedback in the comments section. We would love to hear your thoughts on the same. For the time being, if you have any queries on web development Newcastle speak with an expert directly for clarifying all your doubts.
