In 18 months, Google went from 25% AI-generated code to 75%.
Imagine where we'll be in 6 months.

Nothing could possibly go wrong!

It's easy to believe. AI is very good at a lot of the drudge coding work. The part that concerns me is the pushing out of junior staff that should be cutting their teeth on this work. As a senior engineer, I can review and validate AI generated code and actually use AI to improve process compliance. However, who will have those skills and knowledge 10-20 years from now?
It may be that AI will be so good by then that we won't need engineers at that level anymore. I admit I'm not sure. I was remarking to some colleagues the other day, that I feel like I lived in a golden age, starting my career at the beginning of the PC revolution, and ending it just before AI wipes out the profession for good. AI seems to have a qualitative difference from all the other "the sky is falling" prognostications about the collapse of software development as a viable career. In the past, the growth in the computer space always seemed to ensure that talented people would find their skills in demand. I don't necessarily feel that way now.
