Using “AI” tools to code is expensive. But not so expensive that business can’t afford them.
However, what does this mean for the rest of us?
Is software development going to be markedly different for those that have access to such tools and those who can’t afford or otherwise justify the cost?
I can imagine all kind of interesting dynamics emerging around this.
I also love this quote from an interview with the esteemed Dr. Gosling:
While we can theorize about the future, many of our misapprehensions about the present state of AI would be helped, Gosling argues, if instead of “artificial intelligence” or “machine learning,” we were to call these tools what they really are: advanced statistical techniques. https://vectorverse.beehiiv.com/p/james-gosling-ask-one-question-about-gen-ai
