First it was tools to help humans code (Copilot) -- and no one complained because we still needed human coders.
Now it's a near fully-functional teammate that needs a bit of supervision -- still no one complained because it needs human team members to instruct it
Next it will be a full-functional teammate that is probably as good as a junior coder -- but no one will complain because senior coders will get paid more and companies will have to hire less
Then, there will be the expert AI coder, but still no one will complain because we will need system architects to design the system that the AI codes.
All along, no one will complain because those with jobs will still have them and those without will be too busy thinking about how to provide for their families. Get another job? Oh yeah, AI took that one too.
All along, we are incrementally improving AI because it is an intellectual amusement -- we simply never take into account the social consequences. This path of destruction is so blindingly obvious, it's incredible that everyone is still working on AI instead of trying to destroy it. But wait, I get it, those who jump on earliest still have a chance at a bit of profit....
...so it's all worth it in the end, right?
