I'm personally finding GPT to be exceptionally fun to work with, like the most fun I've had programming in a long time. It brings back some of the magic of programming when I was a kid, and then some.
It also makes me feel anxious about where this is all going. I'm having questions about whatever I thought was unique about me, or about humans over computers. And like all of us I have a lot of identity and sense of self-worth tied up in my relationship with computers. All of that feels mixed up and confused now. My confidence in how the future will unfold is very low. (I'm also unemployed, which in some ways feels auspicious at this moment, but also creates a high base-level anxiety.)
So far I feel like GPT rewards expertise. That is, your confidence and both breadth and depth of knowledge are accentuated by GPT, not diminished. But will that stay true? Things I think I understand keep changing every couple months. And what will these changes mean to us collectively? I really don't know, and that's uncomfortable.
