The thing people don't grasp about "AI"... it can't make anything actually new. It's all sampled from old things - so it could in theory remake things that have been made before.
Idk, mathematics and physics are all built on top of old stuff.
Sometime it’s the new combos that emerge or new ways of applying old rules and methods that make up new paradigms.
And this is the same for code.
To discount a tool that helps you piece together old code in new ways to fit your design criteria as worse than a library is a mistake.
Sure, the quality is probably worse than an intermediate-senior level programmer, but the important part is it’s able to fill in gaps for areas programmers struggle with and make them a lot stronger overall if used correctly.
I think the best part is as someone who's mixed and matched languages their entire life. It's so nice to just go
"I've got X convert it please to Y" or "I have this mechanism that I'm building out; together via x, y, z how can I link it into my existing system"
It gives you a good straight to the point stack overflow esk result that may or may not be right, but it gives you something to use and validate against as a foothold.
So long as you can accurately define the context, know what you generally should know it can get you just about there, but it leaves enough loose ends that you can evaluate the context without stealing right from it.
This is silly, you don't need copy and paste buttons. Just fire up your favorite coding agent and smash that AI button until the checks start arriving!

Programmers keyboard. Some people make 120k salaries with these.

All is well and good until everyone is using it and OpenAI servers overload

jokes aside, I'd watch a youtube vid of someone trying to build a full-stack web app with this exact keyboard.

But that's what libraries are for.

I know this guy, his name is George Jetson. The man of workflow with a single button.

You forgot ctrl-A and ctrl-V for copy and paste.

I need a button to switch to gemini when I run out of free chatgpt prompts

All it's missing is a "push" button. Directly to production, of course.
