>I had it generate song lyrics. They were funny but not anything that I'd actually use .
>I had it write a few stories featuring my son. We were both impressed by the stories and entertained. But none of them were very special or particularly good.
That's better than I could do as a human, though. The bar for needing (or be useful as) a real person just got a lot higher. I know an artist who does hentai commissions for living, and she's freaking out as Stable Diffusion produces good enough results, so her clients would rather deal with them being imperfect rather than pay her.
>but it won't turn juniors into seniors. It's not going to make someone who has no idea about coding into a developer.
Again, it significantly raises the bar. I'm currently mentoring a trainee, and I have to do a lot of hand-holding for them to get things right. ChatGPT can perform on that level.
>It feels like an augmentation of productivity more than a replacement.
It's both, IMO. As a senior developer, I can be a lot more productive with CoPilot spitting out boilerplate code for me, but I'd probably offload it to a junior rather than put effort into it most of the time.
