Was wondering what programmers are thinking about AI? Serious question.

I'm an artist, and I have looked at the arguments for and agaisnt and it's hard for me to see a positive outcome either way. Especially with the push towards artists being paid to draw from certain people.

So I thought I would see what programmers think about the AI situation since programming is also an area where AI is looking to replace people.

I learned to code a while back but I thought I was too slow to be good at it. And it also kinda upset me with how the documentation made me feel kinda like disposable goods. I had thought about learning more and brushing up my skills but why learn another way to be a Dunsel.

What are your thought?
