It increases short term productivity, yes, long term, not so much. What I started to notice, and I think some people on HN have noticed already before me, is that producing lines of code is faster. Much faster, even, if examples are already in the knowledge base. This means that "rolling your own" has never been easier. So, we end up with the same solution, replicated many times in the code. So, now, programmers are producing code faster than reviewers can review. Even the authors of this GPT assisted pile of code may not read or even fully understand it. I think the critical thing missing is code duplication detection. I know some tools are available but I have yet to see one that does its job satisfactorilly. If, however, that does not get built in soon, then companies will start to see that AI causes people to produce lots of unmaintainable/duplicated content and will start to turn away.
