> The real threat that I see is that the AI will leave the boring part to us

Do you enjoy writing code just for the sake of writing code? The thing I enjoy about programming is the results of the programming. Code is just the language I have to speak in order to get the idea that's in my head onto the computer screen. If I could just speak English and have the same result, I would be just as happy.

Interesting. I was going to say something trivial like making the AI insert semicolons and fix typos in sloppily written code but now I wonder if this AI can be used to detect undefined behavior just by throwing the Linux kernel source into it.

Maybe it could be used to decompile code and automatically give it meaningful variable and type names.
