The great modern urban myth: no, AI doesn't replace programmers

AI doesn't replace programmers. It's a modern urban myth.


The net is full of stories about how AI/GPT writes full product code, and replaces programmers. 

It's an urban myth.

It sounds cool. But it's wrong.


AI/GPT is great at boring repetitive tasks. Great at searching. SearchGpt replaces successfully most manuals and documentation. It is even much faster and better than Stackoverflow.


It's also useless for solving any original or complex problem. It makes silly mistakes, writes redundant code, and doesn't really "understand" anything.

Yes, I write code, I love AI, we use it extensively, and I use GPT every day. AI is great. Technology is great.


But no. There is no "product" fully written by AI, by amateurs. 

It's a modern urban myth.
