> This should really make programmers think. Is it worth writing programs of this kind? Sure, you get paid, and quite handsomely, but if an LLM can do part of it, maybe it's not the best place to be in five or ten years.
Some one, a person with a sense of responsibility, has to sign off on changes to the code. LLMs have shown to come with answers that make no sense or contain bugs. A person (for now) needs to decide is the LLM's suggestion is acceptable, if we need more tests, if we want to maintain it.
I think programmers will be needed for that, they will just be made more productive (as what happened with the introduction of garbage collection, strong typed languages, powerful IDEs, StackExchange, ...)
