seek information or advice from (someone, especially an expert or professional).

that’s a very low percentage, I have been using Github’s copilot for a year, it’s a decent productivity tool, it can do stuff like save me the time of googling how to sort an array, because I rarely do it and always forget the exact syntax, and just offer me the solution, so saves a few minutes, stuff like that, but Software Engineers are literally always developing tools to increase productivity a developer now can do more in a day than a developer 15 years ago, for example for Frontend I reckon REact/Angular/Vue did more for productivity than Copilot ever will.

and that’s how the world moves forward, we have been increasing productivity of workers, and it’s not a bad thing, this “AI” is just another tool to use for that.

the issue is to call this thing AI, chatGPT and the like are Large Language Models, basically calculators for words, so instead of inputting numbers you input words and it spits out something at you, is it correct ? who the fuck knows, the “AI” for sure does not, it has no intelligence, no concept of things, no creativity, it’s not a replacement for humans it’s a tool, like a calculator.
