I’d believe AI will replace human programmers when I can tell it to produce the code for a whole entire video game in a single prompt that is able to stand up to the likes of New Vegas, has zero bugs, and is roughly hundreds of hours of content upon first play due to vast exploration.
In other words, I doubt we’ll see human programmers going anywhere any time soon.
Edit:
Reading other replies made me remember how I once, for fun, tried using a jailbroken copilot program to do python stuff slightly above my already basic coding skill and it gave me code that tried importing something that absolutely doesn’t exist. I don’t remember what it was called ince I deleted the file while cleaning up my laptop the other day, but I sure as hell looked it up before deleting it and found nothing.
Honestly, GPT has strengthened my coding skills… for the simple reason that the handful of times I’ve asked it to do something the response I get back is so outlandish that I go “That CAN’T be right” and figure out how to do it myself…
The best copilot can do is autofill lines that everyone’s written a million times. That’s not nothing, but it aint replacing a human brain any time soon.

Research with extra steps… I get it, but still…

Could you imagine Microsoft replacing windows engineers with a chat gpt prompt? What would that prompt even look like?
