Over the past few years, the evolution of AI-driven tools like GitHub’s Copilot and other large language models (LLMs) has promised to revolutionise programming. By leveraging deep learning, these tools can generate code, suggest solutions, and even troubleshoot issues in real-time, saving developers hours of work. While these tools have obvious benefits in terms of productivity, there’s a growing concern that they may also have unintended consequences on the quality and skillset of programmers.

      Of course, I don’t understand why people think it’s “unecessary”.
      Do they never do exploratory work and do thing they are uncomfortable with ?
      It’s a tool, if i’m in a codebase I know well, it’s often pretty useless.
      But I started writing some python, I’m a python noob, copilot is a gigantic productivity booster.
