@cwebber what worries me too is how many of these people, who are on their own brilliant programmers, spending most of their time writing programs for companies that can be more or less copy-pasted from elsewhere - thus being perfect for AI generation.
In other words - it worries me that people's skillsets are dwindling just because of the job they work at. Something they did as a way to support themselves now jeopardizes the truly brilliant work they may have actually been doing, or the times at their job where something truly challenging did come up.
AI still can't really do anything of use for me, the actual cost of correctness is so high for what I do I don't see a future it could ever work for me. I'm so infinitely glad for this, I can just point to fact and say "this tool can't work for me". I feel terrible for people who can't do that, especially when their skill sets are so much more then their jobs are enabling them to do.
