I only use it sparingly thus far, and for small things, but I don't find it depressing at all - but timely.

All those many, many languages, frameworks, libraries, APIs and there many many iterations, soooo much time lost on minute details. The natural language description, even highly detailed down to being directly algorithmic, is a much better level for me. I have gotten more and more tired of coding, but maybe part of it is too much Javascript and its quickly changing environment and tools, for too many years (not any more though). I have felt that I'm wasting way too much time chasing all those many, many details for quite some time.

I'm not pro-high-level-programming per se - I started a long time ago with 8 bit assembler and knowing every one of the special registers and RAM cells. I cherish the memories of complex software fitting on a 1.44 MB floppy. But it had gotten just a bit too extreme with all the little things I had to pay attention to that did not contribute to solving the actual (business) problem.

I feel it's a bit early even if it's already usable, but I hope they can get at least one more giant leap out of AI in the next decade or so. I am quite happy to be able to concentrate on the actual task, instead of the programming environment minutiae, which has exploded in size and complexity across platforms.
