> the ratio of productivity between the mean and the max engineer? It's quite possible that this grows *a lot*

I have a professor who has researched auto generated code for decades and about six months ago he told me he didn't think AI would make humans obsolete but that it was like other incremental tools over the years and it would just make good coders even better than other coders. He also said it would probably come with its share of disappointments and never be fully autonomous. Some of what he said was a critique of AI and some of it was just pointing out that it's very difficult to have perfect code/specs.
