  It sounds like somebody's got a case of the WFH movement is gutting middle management ;) In all seriousness though, this stuff is sobering to say the least. It's dangerous to extrapolate from 80% to 100%, but it's entirely possible that these things get good enough to take a meaningful bite out of software jobs. It would be supremely ironic if after a decade of thinking taxi and truck drivers were going to be put out of work it turns out computer programmers have their jobs threatened by generative models sooner!

    After looking at the outputs for anything reasonably complicated, well... If this steals our bread, then we deserve it.

      Stackoverflow is probably just going to be filled with "What prompt do I need to write to get my AI to output the code I want?" questions instead.

    It would be ironic indeed, but the whole thing with "taxi and truck drivers will soon be made obsolete by AI" was also based on extrapolating from 80% to 100% (IIRC, Uber was saying they'd be completely driverless by 2025).
