@mattiem It's hard to say, what made me think of it originally was when I was chatting with my professor from college. I asked her what it was like trying to teach the next wave of programmers. She said it's been extremely difficult because they all just want to use AI to do homework, etc, for them. So, if the models don't keep improving, we could look at a whole generation of software developers who don't really understand code as well as we do. Interesting times!

@jordanmorgan yes I think that future is a certainty, unfortunately. I don't see how it would be limited to just software developers either... It's possible the whole question about abstraction is pure semantics. I do not think AI is an abstraction (and absolutely not a compiler). I don't have answers, but I definitely do enjoy thinking about these things philosophically!
