Or, you can look at the positive contribution that AI is adding for developers. This is true even for curmudgeons like me that tried it early on and had bad experiences. Using AI to look up documentation, and asking the AI to summarize alternatives takes many fewer clicks than searching Google. I also find it generates good code if you ask the right questions. That is, as an experienced programmer, I'm able to generate much better, iterative prompts than a nontechnical person or a junior programmer. With tools and the AI evolving, making iterative changes across your app using an AI is clearly part of the future of programming. Heck, it even chooses good variable names, and that's been the bane of programmers since the dawn of programming. |
