Short version: This is the same bullshit that is spewed every time something new comes out. If you ever heard that your calculator will prevent you from being able to do math or your IDE will prevent you from knowing how to write a function signature and so forth, it is that all over again.

And the reality is? Maybe it will. But that is progress. I doubt most people know how to make butter or can preserves. And they don’t need to be cause technology has reached the point that that is an unnecessary skill.

Your calculator is much less likely to suddenly decide that 2+2=5 though.

  Degrees versus radians. Not checking imperial versus metric units when you enter stuff. Button gets stuck. And so forth
  
  Like with anything, you need to be able to glance at the output and say “that looks right”

    When will these people understand that QA will always be involved?
    
    “AI can make mistakes!”
    
    Yeah no shit, that’s why you CHECK IT.
