This will be known as "The No Code Revolution."

Even your single datapoint explanation/POV/understanding will help to accelerate this entire process.

I have to keep reminding programmers that Co-Pilot exists, is real, and makes LESS mistakes than entry-level datagrunt software engineers. And it costs pennies of electricity to run daily.

All capitalism is: the search to maximize efficiency; monotonous human labor (~80%) is the most expensive part of this equation... this is not an "if," rather "when" situation. Putting your head into the sand will be a safe place for lesser programmers to still make money, for at least another few years.

But as was said elsewhere in this thread: if you do not know how to write PROOF code to VERIFY these inevitable AI-assistant-coders' outputs, you will not have a job. Human mindpower cannot compete in the bruteforce arena — all ChatGPT is right now is a bunch of autistic middle-aged asshole trolls with WAY TOO MUCH MONEY, and EVEN MORE TIME (to play around with this).

I encourage you as a more-artistic-than-technical (but still fairly intelligent) person to "just pretend" that this is your new Fiverr-tasker. Because it is already, and will be once more-widely understood / accepted.

Peace.
