Disclaimer: I have not delved into AI to any great degree. Where this kind of statement ("Holy crap! It wrote me a program and it worked!") tends to make me skeptical is this: the program always seems to be something that's already been done a million times before. IOW, something that was probably somewhere in the model's input dataset. I would want to see it produce something truly unique that I'm trying to do for my business -- something that's never been done before. Then we can talk about AI's ending coding. Until then, they're going to be a tool used by actual coders IMO.

> the program always seems to be something that's already been done a million times before Most software being written today, in its essence, has been done a million times before. It's just that, from case to case, the tech stack, interfaces, and data structures always differ slightly, which says little about the difficulty of the software problem being solved and is more a function of your organization's history, the developers' background & personal preferences, industry trends, et cetera. In other words: If zoom out a little, the wheel is being re-invented on the daily.
