The first digital camera was released in around 1975? Digital cameras overtook film camera sales in 2005, 30 years later.
Why is gpt3 relevant? I can't recall anyone using gpt3 directly to generate code. The closest would probably be Tabnine's autocompletion, which I think first used gpt2, but I can't recall any robust generation of full functions (let alone programs) before late 2022 with the original GitHub copilot.
