I think that Primeagen answers your concerns fairly directly in this video[1] TLDR; Barely useful AI costs $5 per "bug fix" and you have to supervise it, that's the lowest compute, cheapest models... the "good" stuff is going to cost thousands per task, there needs to be 10,000:1 improvements in hardware before things really impact the market. However... code churn generated by the AI is likely to increase the need for competent programmers to sort out the mess. ;-) [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjOxkPl3RGo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjOxkPl3RGo
