As someone who I think is almost exactly your age because I entered high school in 1976 too. That was the year I wrote my first program in BASIC on my friend’s father’s Commodore PET. I went to my state university and got a degree in computer science 1985. I’m still working and writing code. Now a data engineer writing mostly python and SQL. From my viewpoint we aren’t even close to having AI write code for us. Our data is to specific it wouldn’t know what to do. I suppose someday all companies will train a GPT on their data but still years away from that. But it’s coming.
