One worry I have for the long term is: how will we learn or adopt new programming languages in the future, when LLM du-jour knows nothing about Language X? Will we be stuck with what we’ve got because LLMs make us too productive in them?

I'm very worried that machine learning will lead to stagnation in general, in programming and in art. People will accept the machine output and call it a day instead of making something new.

I thought about this as well.

As long as the new language is well-documented, it should be simple to teach the LLM to use it.

But for a new language, there isn’t a large body of work to train the LLM on what idiomatic code looks like. It really worries me, that we’re going to be stuck at this local maximum
