    The advancements in AI coding is remarkable. I'm trying to think of an analogy and suppose the printing press is similar. 20 years ago I used to hand code websites starting with a blank HTML file. A website could take days/weeks to complete, something that can now be done in mere seconds. This AI "robot" can code for 7 hours straight (and I'd imagine it actually produces code in lightning speed during those 7 hours). For errors or accuracy, who knows... but the new world is here for IT. I work in cybersecurity now and am hoping my field isn't obsolete for the next 15 years so I can retire, otherwise I might have to start learning how to weld pipes.

      Insert ‘don’t learn to code’ joke here.

        I use it most every day. In my current position I'm frequently thrown into areas I know very little about and AI is phenomenal for getting up to speed quickly. For years I have complained that almost no documentation ever tells you exactly how to do what it is you need to do. AI fixes that quite neatly.

          Start an artisanal HTML handcrafting service that will serve only the most discerning of the heirs of great fortunes.

            Very true. I heard a business pitch recently (on a podcast) where the company would connect their AI service to "all of t3h documentz" for a company so that employees could conversationally ask for help or how to do something (restaurants, corporations, etc...) and quickly get answers based on scattered documentation. Not perfect, but man that is like having an HR robot without the passive aggressiveness when you ask a stupid question.
