All this is doing is parsing StackOverflow and other sources and compiling information using machine learning (sometimes completely incorrectly), and if that's saving you time because you do that a lot then that's genuinely great, it's an amazing tool. But the idea that a tool that scrapes StackOverflow is going to significantly replace programming jobs is frankly ludicrous. Everything that ChatGPT does can be done manually. There are weak programmers who essentially piece things together from StackOverflow and other sources all day, and just brute force "make it work". Did the emergence of StackOverflow replace programming jobs? No way, there are actually far more programming jobs now then there were when StackOverflow was founded. The reason is simple: > If you want to create complex production software and grow and maintain it long term, it's simply not enough to copy and paste from the internet. So therefore a machine that does exactly the same thing can't either. Go and build a complex ERP system using only ChatGPT answer, just try it. It will be a steaming pile of shit, riddled with technical debt. You won't be able to build a good business from the result. Right now even if you use ChatGPT you inevitably need to be a developer to fix it's errors, so it's currently replacing exactly ZERO developers. When we have AI that can logically reason about code, along with the business context it's being applied to, then it will significantly replace programming jobs. We're absolutely nowhere near that, ChatGPT doesn't even sniff anywhere near doing that. Personally, I can't even remember the last time I went on StackOverflow to find answers about something, and there's enough false positives where reading documentation is far preferable to asking ChatGPT about how something works. So currently for me ChatGPT doesn't save any time, I do use Copilot though.
