> If the next step in that process of creation is prompt engineering and reviewing AI-written code, so what?

1. It’s boring, soul-crushing paint by numbers scutwork

2. We value correctness and there’s no guarantee of it with LLMs

3. We value comprehensibility (answering the question “why did that happen?” in our systems) and there is an event horizon in these models past which we cannot see further.

4. If the jobs of software developers are materially under threat from this technology then no job that does not involve putting your hands on something or someone, or that does not have a legal/regulatory moat, is safe. Our society is in no way prepared for > 20% of its decent middle class jobs to disappear in 10 years time.

These are good points. Society will need to decide if we push back on AI and aim for upholding the standard of human quality or accept a higher efficiency at a lower quality.
