Anther perspective, AI is fast turning [0.1x to 0.5x] low cost X-world Sofwate Engineers into >1x engineers.

Contrary to pre AI era, one of my close relative he has become very good "understand / write the requirement" guy. HN may be dominated by >1x engineers, another revolution is happening at lower /bulk end of spectrum as well.

AI makes it possible for someone who has never written code to generate a program that does what they want. One of my friends wanted to simulate a 7,9 against a dealer 10 upcard in the card game blackjack. GPT was able to write the simulation for him in javascript/html. So it took a 0.001x coder and turned him into a 0.2x coder.
Was it actually correct? How would they tell?
