My impression is that the first field that AI will massively disrupt is not medicine, not writing, and not education, but software engineering. The thing about software engineering is that the computer can often check its own answer, and iterate to a better one. Not so easy in other fields. So progress in AI writing software will be very, very fast.

I'm guessing there will still very much be a job for software engineers, but it's going to change fast.

I have been trying to integrate into my workflow, and the current iterations still have a ways to go.

It has replaced stack overflow, and it is very helpful when I want it to explain how to interact with a new api. Beyond that its like an employee that has negative return on value, kind of doing the right thing but mucking it up enough that I waste more time than in would have originally just doing it myself.
