What I’ve seen output by coding AI’s - beyond toy apps, simple scripts, and well defined patterns that have already been solved 1 million times over - has been absolutely awful. It still sucks at "hard" engineering, and anything "new". But that’s true of most human coders too. For now it’s good for some lol’s. I don’t find it personally useful in a menaningful capacity, and it’s not replacing me in the near future. But to be honest - if AI does get a lot better, and encoraches upon the work I actually want to be doing, then I’ll be pissed. I love what I do. But I don’t see that as a foregone conclusion, yet.
Anyways, working class like me (even white collar) was getting priced out of hifi even before any jobs were lost to AI. I’m done - anything I buy from here on out will be used market, and that will be sparse. Crazy times :(
