You're right. I don't consider those people serious programmers, just uneducable monolinguistic coders, who are going to find their dead-end jobs easily replaced by AI.

ChatGPT is not just useful for banging out boilerplate code, it's much more useful for teaching programmers who are willing to learn new apis and how to code in new languages and better in the languages they already know.

And that opportunity is missed on monolinguistic coders who refuse to learn or even read the fucking manual, and just see AI as a replacement for posting "just give me the codes" and copying and pasting from Stack Overflow.

Real programmers aren't going to be replaced by AI. Programmers who refuse to use AI and refuse to learn are going to be replaced by AI and programmers who are capable and enthusiastic about learning.
