It's still the case that fewer people are required so I'm not sure this argument holds up. In the UK at least, entry-level software engineer roles down roughly 27% year-on-year after gpt was launched according to one article I saw.

Also had a quick play too. The TUI is garbled thanks to some stderr messages which can just be dev/null'd. I don't seem to be able to interact with the transcripts with the arrow or jk keys.
Overall though, it's fast and really impressive. Can't wait for it to progress.
