My take as sr is ai is a tool. It’s important to understand where it adds value and what it’s limits are. Mgt/ mahogany row in some companies think it’s a do-everything technology. Sure it can generate a lot of code quickly but… it can’t architect it’s way out of a paper bag.
What it saves me time on is stubbing out/roughing code then i can clean it up as needed. I can hand-hold it and eventually get something decent out of it.
It also saves me time when dealing with something i’m not super familiar with. Always check the work but it is nice to say “give me a class/function to do XYZ with ABC” and get something that would take days to research/trial/error etc.
i have yet to have it write something 100% clean/usable off the bat, but it does give a good boiler. It’s also good at generating docblocks that i can go through and touch up.
The other thing that it’s been awesome at is generating test/demo throw away code. Stuff i just need to get out there and look pretty for dog and pony shows but won’t be around long term. That has saved me tons of time.
So yeah sorry this isn’t exactly what the OP was asking. Bottom line is it’s a tool… i treat it as such. I see value in it. But i’m not worried about being replaced by it any time soon.
This is my take on AI too. Not in tech but its just tool to help me do some of my job.
Every couple of decades there will always be something that comes along and shakes up multiple job industries. People had the same fears about the emergence of computers, renewable energy, etc. Just have to adapt if your job is heavily influenced by those innovations.
