I remember "The Last One", a program generator written in 1981. So the idea of programs writing programs is nothing new.

- tluyben2 5y agoThey have been saying our jobs are obsolete because AI longer than that anyway. The stuff that codex generates is not the work we do and as such it's pretty useless. I see AI more in frontend code: have designers think up things and have the AI generate React that gives the best possible (machine learned) user experience from those designs (like: this looks like a form with a list right next to it: that will be best with this html on mobile and desktop). At least that seems possible now while writing code that adds value outside that rather does not.
