So curious as to why this got downvoted -- it feels exactly right.

Tech type people that previously found a massive value in producing simple scripts probably wouldn't like this. It erases the value of the skills they developed.

Only a professional programmer is insulated from this obsolescence.

I am sympathetic to the fact that low-knowledge tech workers had their value erased over night. I don't have any solutions for this problem.

Any sufficiently complex LLM-generated program is (semantically) indistinguishable from garbage.

I've found that GPT4 is particularly good at generating TCL code. Possibly because what's out there is generally high-quality, possibly because there's very little syntax for it to keep track of.

GPT-4 is fantastic as one-off scripts for any task.

It can produce scripts in seconds that might have taken technical support people an entire day (stretched to a week or more of work) prior.

Of course, it can't maintain a codebase like a professional developer can. Thank God.

Well duh, that's not what you use it for. You use it to generate parts and snippets quicker.
