Writing code was never the issue. Writing good code was. By "good", I mean that it is understandable by the human that will need to debug/maintain/extend it.

AIs on their own don't produce good code. If your AI makes you more productive on your way to write good code (just like syntax highlighting or other tools already do), then why not (ignoring the carbon footprint of course).

But if you're in the business of writing good code, AIs are not replacing you right now.
