It’s really important to understand the various perspectives in AI discourse; those who view Programing as Art feel a deep affront and threat on many levels. It’s legitimate.

If you loved the art of writing code, and also enjoyed getting paid a boatload for that activity, you’re losing out in the trade as AI shifts the focus of software from coding to designing.

I do think that we could see a golden age in Programming as Art, similar to how chess is more popular than ever before, even though your phone could defeat Magnus Carlsen. All except a few superstar streamers will likely be doing it for love and not for money. But it’ll be easier to pick up and to learn than ever before, for those interested in doing so.
