I would have agreed with you about other creative spaces being invaded by AI

But not code

The consumer never sees the code. To him, it makes no difference if there is pure elegance underneath the app or just garbled spaghetti

The user can likely tell AI-generated images and articles. But he’d have zero clue if the website used AI generated code

The changes into industry definitely coming. But AI will affect not only programming. And handmade products will cost more than autogenerated ones.

Programming started sucks before when companies started to orient on fast income and preferred pure quality templated projects over well-made efficient ones.

This world changes. Many people have nothing to do and with AI amount of them will grow. It scare.

This is true at any instant in time, but it fails miserably over time as support and feature enhancement becomes important. A poor design from an LLM that cannot be updated, fixed, maintained, and improved is an issue that affects customers.

All those generated code would still need to be maintained, no? What happen when the customer found a bug and demand it to be fixed? Would the AI able to find the buggy code and fix it?
