Their models can’t replace anyone, its just a fancy autocomplete. Before, we took snippets from GitHub and StackOverflow now it’s just a chat. Cool feature, but they overpromised big time.

I’d feel more threatened if they had a model with persistent memory and realtime adaptability. But even then its not clear if it’ll replace engineers. We’re still far from that. Until then other tech might emerge like lab grown brains, quantum chips and what not
