It's useful, but the promise of every AI company is very explicitly that they will burn the seed corn and choke off the pipeline that created those "very talented" developers who reviewed it!

I’m less worried about this as the best way to learn to code is to read as well as write it IMO.

If capabilities don’t improve it’s not replacing anyone, if they do improve and it can write good code, people can learn from reading that.

I don’t see a pathway to improvement though given how these models work.
