Are people here objecting to Gen AI being used to take their jobs? I mainly see people objecting to the social, legal, and environmental consequences.

Yes, even if they don't say it. The other objections largely come from the need to sound more legitimate.

Let me get this straight. You think Rob Pike, is worried about his job being taken? Do you know who he is?

Gen AI taking programmer's jobs is 20 years away.

At the moment, it's just for taking money from gullible investors.

Its eating into business letters, essays and indie art generation but programming is a really tough cookie to crack.
