If it ever gets there, then anyone can use it and there's no "skill" to be learned at all.

Either it will continue to be this very flawed non-deterministic tool that requires a lot of effort to get useful code out of it, or it will be so good it'll just work.

That's why I'm not gonna heavily invest my time into it.

Good for you. Others like myself find the tools incredibly useful. I am able to knock out code at a higher cadence and it’s meeting a standard of quality our team finds acceptable.

Looking forward for those 10x improvements to finally show up somewhere. Any day now!

Jokes aside, I never said it's not useful, but most definitely it's not even close to all this hype.

We are all different but I think most of us with open minds are the flaw in your statement.
