> It's hilariously stupid. No no, it's going to take our jobs! /s

  You joke, but I am pretty sure, that in some heads that idea is already spinning. When can they hire fewer people and make those fewer people simply use ChatGPT or some other model. We might see an even further decline in web quality as a result, as we get even more copy&paste devs.

    Great for me, I work in IT security, and that's gonna tank even harder if people start seriously using ChatGPT in the manner you describe!

    Increased productivity and doing certain tasks in less time or with less people has been going on forever and certainly last 30 years in web development. The growing businesses use the extra capacity to expand in other directions whether new products or new features. The stagnant companies continue to struggle with less.

  No, but the next breakthrough might... Why do so many hackers have so much difficulty seeing that the current state of public LLMs is not the pinnacle of AI technology? Nobody ever even claimed that they were.

  Meh, anyone who hasn’t been able to multiply their productivity with chatgpt is either is too stubborn to try it or, well, i’m not sure how you can mess this up. From writing sql boilerplate to copy-pasting my entire pico8 game and going “add repulsion force to enemies so they don’t clump up on one tile” to using it to provide examples instead of synthesizing them from a manpage, it’s insanely good.

    oh it helps, it doesn't multiply my productivity, I wish it did! It marginally increases my productivity and reduces some friction, honestly I'm more than happy for it to write as much code as it can on my behalf, it just can't. I suspect those for whom it is a big game changer, were likely engaged in lots of activity which is cookie cutter.
