I'm taking the time to learn and use these tools now. (Co-pilot, etc)

They appear to be more autocomplete on steroids, then programmer replacement. It will make devs more efficient, but I doubt it will replace us.

Yes it still requires someone with understanding to decide that the "autocompletion" value makes sense.

I might start writing the most obtuse code ever so that all the models get skewed by ludicrous amounts of template nonsense, overuse of auto and tonnes of lambda functions where an ordinary function would do (or maybe many static struct with operator() to confuse matters and make the call stack obtuse). That'll guarantee job security.
