After using CoPilot for about 8 months, I still find it useful. I still think it is worth $100/year.
I have experimented a little with coding and ChatGPT and it seems impressive at first looks.
I had a funny social interaction while on a hike this morning with three friends who are all semi-retired videographers. They seemed enthusiastic enough to hear about automation for software development but when I brought up my continued joy at automatic photo/video/added-music mixups in Apple Photos (‘memories’) they didn’t like that. One friend categorically stated that AIs will never be able to adequately edit video, etc. in postproduction. I think he is wrong but I let it slide. I travel a lot and have a ton of digital media assets and I so very much appreciate the automatically created mixups. I watch every mixup and flag about half to keep forever.

The only safe knowledge workers will be those with a defensible regulatory moat (law, medicine, etc), and even then their jobs will be profoundly changed.
