AI is StackOverflow on steroids. That's how I see it from a programmer's perspective.
It's excellent at getting code snippets, suggesting possible ways on how to handle something, etc. I recently had to help out my son with Arduino programming, which I'm totally new at, and thanks to ChatGPT this was super fast and easy.
But to handle an actual codebase, even a single developer codebase, it just doesn't have enough context for that.
I'm sure some day computers will be smarter than us, but some people are still seriously overestimating this.
