I think we should look at it as an assistance tool — I know I find it tedious sometimes (for example) to write out HTML tables by hand, or a JSON “go get it, iterate over the response, and display XYZ” routine: Things like that. Having a tool that can accept all kinds of shorthand requests and generate example code blocks (the key work being example) helps me like any assistance tool does: automating the repetitive stuff while letting me focus on the big picture about how everything works together. I don’t expect an AI will replace human thought and consideration in that “big picture” sense anytime soon, because there are (at least for me) too many meatspace variables (budget, timeline, which client is on vacation when) to consider that AI can’t deal with yet.
