Over the past few years, the evolution of AI-driven tools like GitHub’s Copilot and other large language models (LLMs) has promised to revolutionise programming. By leveraging deep learning, these tools can generate code, suggest solutions, and even troubleshoot issues in real-time, saving developers hours of work. While these tools have obvious benefits in terms of productivity, there’s a growing concern that they may also have unintended consequences on the quality and skillset of programmers.
I was hoping this might start with some actual evidence that programmers are in fact getting worse. Nope, just a single sentence mentioning “growing concern”, followed by paragraphs and paragraphs of pontification.
We’ve all read this post multiple times. Isn’t it just the “young people are lazy” that’s been going around for thousands of years?

At most it’s a tangent on it…
Welcome to the Internet. Pontification is all we’ve got. Now we’ve got LLMs regurgitating the old pontifications to male new ones.
I came in with your same expectations and found the same shit. Just some opinion formed on the basis of “concern”.
Thx for saving me a click. We are full of options and nobody has data. Down voting the post.
