alt Hacker NewsIt's totally plausible that AI codegen produces more bugs. It still seems important to familiarize yourself with these tools now though, because that bug count is only ever going to go down. These tools are here to stay.

I don't think that these specific tools are here to stay. Categorically, yes, but I expect there to be big changes in interfaces and how they work in the next five years.
I don't think spin up time on LLM technology requires as much investment as the hype claims, nor do I think that the current methodology will be as long lived as they think. Sitting out may be detrimental in the now, but I expect that developers that do so will be able to catch up just fine.
Are you trying to assure others or reassure yourself?

I see this stranded claim get trotted out in the corporate world all the time as a refutation to "The AI broke". I fail to understand who the invisible audience for this is supposed to be.
Also, the FOMO argument for why one should use X as much as they can comes across as scammy. Not that I believe you're trying to scam anyone. Though the person you originally got this from may have been!
