I honestly just can't fathom how this a common take right now. We're so far away from AI being a genuinely reliable for software developers. It's basically just StackOverflow+, sometimes even worse because of hallucinations and not being able to use your intuition to sniff out the better answers. Did software development becomes less popular or in demand since the invention of StackOverflow? No, the hobby and profession has grown tremendously since then. These things are productivity enhancers (for some), nothing more.

If your apathy comes from believing that much better models (which will render programming a pointless endeavour) are right around the corner then I just think you're buying into the hype and your prediction is way off. The current models are trained on all the data available, there is nothing more to learn from. As public information grows then the scope of answers will grow, and as models improve they will emulate human responses better. Will they get better at programming? They're only as good as the training data, which will ALWAYS be unreliable and full of errors or missing context, how could it be any other way?
