I mean its more like self driving cars than cars themselves; it can work, but also steering wheels were created by the devs for a reason - even if most are too lazy to understand that reason.

Like I'd agree hand coding in assembly is (mostly) useless these days, but honestly I feel like the efficiency problems ai is trying to solve were largely solved 50 years ago with compilers.

(and like isnt digesting large outputs the entire point of being an engineering level dev? like if youre just there to pray to the software gods, you'd do much better as a CRUD script kiddie anyways)
