Working with a new client, their only SS dev is using Notepad++. His English is broken but his code comments are perfect. I asked chatGPT to write some code and the style is a 1:1 match with the scripts he's producing. You can clearly see the scripts created before chatgpt (poor quality) and the ones created post-chatgpt (average to good quality). He has no awareness of SDF or anything newer than ES5. AI is finally here, amateur devs can now pass interviews and produce code that's just about good enough with chatgpt. I'm not sure how I feel about this yet.

When the requirements and processes get complex, it will be difficult for them to produce results.

I will not worry about it, most of the time the businesses or users are unable to explain or elaborate on what they want or need, plus: • What the business / user wants is not necessarily what they need. Sure there are going to be people getting by with ChatGPT the same way we have

pretenders

today the kind of people that if you let them talk it looks like they invented the freaking computer.

Knowing how to write the code is no replacement for knowing whether you should. Very much a blunt tool. I can strip wallpaper with a blow torch...

It's a commoditizing pressure on the software profession - with higher availability, faster adoption, and cheaper implementation than any previous commoditizing pressure, e.g. globalization/outsourcing.
