As IDE integration grows and there are more and better models, that can do this better than ever. We will unlock all sort of productivity benefits.
There is still skepticism about making these work at scale, with regards to both electricity and compute requirement for the larger audience. But if they can get this to work, we might see a new era tech boom way bigger than we have seen anything before.
It does a well at writing simple to medium complexity automation scripts around AWS.
