Is it really harmful to the economy, or only to entrenched players? Coding AI should be a benefit to many, like open source is. It opens the source even more, should be a dream come true for the community. It's also good for learning and lowering the entry barrier.

At the same time it does not replace human developers in any application, it might take a long time until we can go on vacation and let AI solve our Jira tickets. Remember the Self Driving task has been under intense research for more than a decade now, and it's still far from L5.

It's a trend that holds in all fields. AI is a tool that stumbles without a human to wield it, it does not replace humans at all. But with each new capability it invites us to launch new products and create jobs. Human empowerment without human replacement is what we want, right?
