Idk, all the great programmers I've come to respect are of the opinion that the code it outputs, while often useful, is not high quality. Likewise, all of the influencers and "thought leaders" I have seen on social media who I did not have a high opinion of previous to 2022, have all become AI influencers and make these kinds of claims. So while it's possible that the great programmers are not capable of using this tool effectively, I doubt that is the case, seeing as the mythical 10x productivity improvements have not materialised.
The tech has raised the floor not the ceiling.
Whether the latter happens remains to be seen.
That sounds accurate.
Or rather, they raised the perceived floor. IDK if we're seeing better output, but at least the illusion of output is stronger.
There are also differences in usage patterns, and differences in the quality of thinking. Not all programming revolves around Western open source
Well, I guess it's just a difference of opinion on who's right
