I think this idea, and AI in general, really scares a lot of professional programmers, but this is the world we live in now. You can't spend too long denying the impact of AI on writing code. The ability to adapt to a changing world is one of the most useful skills you can have. |

I am such a denier. Some colleagues in my department were allowed/instructed to try out AI for coding for months just so that the company could get substantive judgements whether AI is useful or not for coding work.
It basically did not help for the tasks that we are doing (and the tasks that we are doing are quite varied (so there are a lot of different topics where an AI could (purely hypothetically) help), but none of them is "create a scrappy CRUD prototype" :-) ).
Thus: the only impact that AI has on writing code that I don't deny is that a lot of stupid managers fall for the siren call of the various A"I" companies, and cause lots of damage. Of course none of these managers will at the end carry the can for the damage caused.
