That's slow corporate thinking. I'm familiar with it but disagree because the efficiency gains are undeniable and it puts a business on a noncompetitive stance if they fail to change with the times. ChatGPT and Copilot are like intern software devs who can produce code in seconds. They generate code that's usually close, but not always correct, at the savings of a great deal of your time of typing the whole thing vs. verifying correctness. For critical and complex algorithms, it's not worth using ML coding assistants right now, but they will be in the future. It's obvious that that's where it's headed: massive efficiency gains for non-technical and barely technical people, and the decline in demand for software engineers, and with it, also a decline in software engineering salaries.
