I've noticed a great deal programmers, very good programmers at that, that completely underestimate how fast things are moving. They're natural skeptics, and checked out ChatGPT when it was released. Then they maybe checked out some other models a year after. But eventually wrote it off as hype, and continue to do things their way. You know, artisanal code and all that.

I think that if you willfully ignore the development, you might be left in the dust. As you say, it is a force multiplier. Even average programmers can become extremely productive, if they know how to use the AI.
