Hard to take this post and the people in it with good faith. OP feels like a troll, and everyone posting how AI is replacing workers or is so amazing won’t post any of the code or talk too in detail about what it’s supposedly done.

Meanwhile, copilot x routinely spits out code with bugs, fumbles refactoring, misinterprets which variables are needed, and in general is a helpful but annoying autocomplete or template tool. Will it replace workers? Probably, but they weren’t really doing much to begin with then. You still need people who understand the business and domain, the systems in place, how they interact and connect, etc. I don’t believe a LLM is capable of that.

Also, people mentioning GPT10 or whatever might as well say it will be doing magic. There is no way to know how it will develop. How the models will be gatekept. How government policy will change or stifle it. And let’s not forget that progress isn’t exponential or linear forever, it’s generally logarithmic.
