I'm looking at coders coming out of University who chat-GPT'd every coursework and they can't program their way out of a paper bag. I think what is being lost is the ability to solve non-chat-GPT-able problems. I'm having my 'oh fuck' moment, but I'm looking at the new coders.
Maybe I am just super behind the progress train, and that programmers will become a thing of the past. Maybe we can setup some adversarial LLM training scenario and have LLMs that reliably code better than humans. My concern remains valid though, that there is now a generation being created that turns to an LLM rather than reasoning about a problem [1].
