Yes. My coding sessions would surely be different. I now have a very fast junior developer who has excellent knowledge of various libraries, though I have to check their code. Write me a function that accepts X and outputs Y. It works great!

Yes, the business model of OpenAI et al is probably unsustainable. I couldn't care less.

Either I'm the dumb one or Ed Zitron is...
