I’ve recently thought about iron man movies, where tony stark actually designs stuffs by simply talking to jarvis. I’ve always thought « if only i could have those kind of tools available, i would too be able to design crazy stuffs ».

We didn’t think « damn, tony stark didn’t have to write a line of code, he got rendered obsolete by this damn AI ». That’s how i choose to think about AI tools for developers from now on.

Should I be worried?

The AI model seems dependent on the documentation being up to date and readable so I think not just yet. Still very cool though

I mean if it takes off for some use-cases and poor documentation is a blocker for people using your service, companies that don’t improve quickly will be out of business soon.

its also escapist fiction, while tech in the real world very much has disproportionate negative impact on some parts of the population :)

It works for Tony Stark because he gets the economic benefit of that AI's output.

I hope that we get there, but it won't happen by default.
