They're not wrong. I think many people also saw/see the trajectory of the models.

If you were pro-ai doing the majority of coding a year ago, you would have been optimistically in front of where the tech was actually capable.

If you are strongly against AI doing the majority of coding now, you are likely well behind what the current tech is capable of.

People who were pragmatic and knowledgeable anticipated this rise in capability.

I recommend engaging with ideas next time, rather than making reductive, ad-hominem, thought-terminating statements.
