Programming with AI is still in its infancy, and yet it has already redefined what programming will be about in the immediate future. As a programmer, you are going to interact with a frigging robot that writes code on your behalf. What was science fiction yesterday is now a new reality, and it raises many questions. I won't pretend to have any answers here, just assorted thoughts.
As AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot and Codex become more prominent, certain aspects of coding are being automated. For instance, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said in the company's first quarter earnings call this year that over 30% of Google's code is AI-generated. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in April that for some company projects, AI writes between 20% and 30% of the code, and it's increasingly using agents to review code, as well.
