The problem is that many people here have an extreme point of view. It's either "this is going to make all develops jobless" or "it's useless, my job isn't that".

I think It'll help with some tasks, which is always good to take. After all, people tweak their vim settings because they feel it makes them more productive.

Software development seems safe for the time being, but as someone who has both paid professional translators and used ChatGPT for translation, I'm certain GPT is obliterating some jobs.

This tech is so powerful, cutting so close to the last of human output that’s uncopied, advancing so fast, I have an incredibly hard time imagining it ending in a space that deserves a muted a reaction. It seems like it will either dramatically change society or fail. And I have quite a hard time imagining failure.

It seems on par with the Industrial Revolution, at least. Which, easy to forget, was a huge deal that totally changed society.
