Have either of you used chatGPT to write scripts yet?

Defining a problem well enough that an AI can write code for it, is basically the job of a programmer to begin with.
In principle it's not too different from using a code library.

What do you mean by programmer? I'm not one by any professional measure, but I screw around and have plenty of problems I know scripting can solve, but I'm not fluent enough in the scripting language to know how to do it without a ton of trial and error.

Nah. Much simpler and faster.

I'm talking about fluent programmers and thinking about how an AI like this could help in that job.

I guarantee you it will have plenty of professional applications for programmers, because that's going to be the case for everyone.
A programmer at Tesla has been talking about how he's been using AI to do grunt work stuff.

So this will be another way programmers can bite off large chunks of functionality with smaller amounts of effort. I'm just saying it wouldn't be a game changer. It would be another incremental productivity tool for programmers.

Yeah, I dunno. That makes sense, and it's not my industry, so who am I to say. On the other hand, I don't think anyone can say with any clarity how AI is going to change things, except to say we're going to apply it to nearly everything.
SEO and content marketing alone will be a thing of the past in about a year. Some new version of it will probably exist, but the way companies make themselves known online will radically change because of AI.
Potentially interesting court case in California: a children's book publisher hired an illustrator for a book, used his sketches to orient an AI to adopt his style, then fired him and used the AI to complete the book. Depending on the details of the contract he signed, this could be the start of the already inevitable onslaught of legal challenges to AI art.

I figure there will always be a call for people who can communicate coherently and clearly enough with the computer, such that the computer's AI can produce for them what they want. Those people will be called programmers. As the AI gets better, the reliance on clarity and coherence will lessen. When MBAs and marketers can author applications by shitting out some incoherent requirements in grammatically incorrect natural language and pressing the Go button, we can declare the programming profession dead.

All professions, really. I personally think we'll get to self-correcting AI faster, which, who the hell knows after that.
Please love yourself.
