It doesn't have to be perfect to replace developers. If every developer in a company becomes 5x more productive but you can only sell 3x harder, something might still have to give.
Even if GPT-4 doesn't quite cut it, what about GPT-5? What about the crazy, off-the-wall concept that comes out of some university and completely revolutionizes the whole thing again by 2024? Stanford is already demonstrating an inclination for disruption. There is an incredible amount of energy, attention and capital being poured into this space right now. If all acceleration forces were removed, I think we are still going to wind up somewhere crazy.
We certainly aren't ever going to go backwards in capabilities. It will only improve - even if just marginally. I've got GPT3.5 suggesting very high quality methods for my codebases. You could take 20% of the capability away right now and I'd still consider it a revolution in productivity.

How much experience have you had with GPT3.5/4?
