You are absolutely right

Because, as we all know, what is important about coding is outputting lines of code.

This is the main difficulty, this is were IA will change the game forever.

Thinking about the code you write, that's worthless, do not do that. Improving a large code base ? Again, no need to think to do that. Just inject random lines of code and it will do the trick.

Of course, in a world where your code has no value because it's just a copy/paste from elsewhere that has a low lifetime expectancy, IA is shinning.

But if you want something a bit more useful, a bit more clever, a bit more adapted to your use case, IA sucks. Because IA do not think.

IA is a threat to dev that do not think. Good ridance, they won't be missed.
