I'm starting to believe using them is more likely to make you obsolete than not.
It baffles me that so many people are so willing to pay for the privilege of training their own replacement.
That’s the most craven AI user line I’ve read. Well at least from this week.
I completely agree. Most programmers work on rather boring and not particularly novel things. If they don't adapt, then they'll be replaced.
I do think it'll be a while before LLMs make significant contributions to complex projects, though. For example I can't imagine many maintainers of the Linux kernel use LLMs much.
