if you have ‘developers’ that are using a bot to generate their work...
you don’t have developers.
i’ve been writing software since 1977, professionally since 1984... the code produced by the AIs is about as good as you’d find on github, if you had access to everyone’s source (like chatgpt does).
if it had to create something new... it’d fail.

not yet — AI does not currently function independently of experts
but how many are ultimately inconsequential going forward?
it’s a vertical issue where both management & coders will eventually lose their grip on the very nebulous industry of software development
AI is like a small child learning to walk.
It is way too early to tell whether it will be able to be an Olympic sprinter or not.
Can confirm, except for the most trivial of completed-many-times tasks; but sometimes, it still hallucinates at that.
Also, Visual Studio Code with Copilot will hallucinate additional blocks of code after autocomplete, if you’re not careful.
