> To my experience, AIs can generate perfectly good code relatively easy things, the kind you might as well copy&paste from stackoverflow, This, imho, is what is happening. In the olden days, when StackOverflow + Google used to magically find the exact problem from the exact domain you needed every time - even then you'd often need to sift through the answers (top voted one was increasingly not what you needed) to find what you needed, then modify it further to precisely fit whatever you were doing. This worked fine for me for a long time until search rendered itself worthless and the overall answer quality of StackOverflow has gone down (imo). So, we are here, essentially doing the exact same thing in a much more expensive way, as you said. Regarding future employment opportunities - this rot is already happening and hires are coming from it, at least from what I'm seeing in my own domain.
