AI Is Rewiring Coders’ Brains. Yours May Be Next
Many people—like, say, journalists—are understandably antsy about what generative artificial intelligence might mean for the future of their profession. Or are you going to be stuck in the past, on the wrong side of the ‘productivity polarity’?” In June 2021, GitHub launched a preview version of a programming aid called Copilot, which uses generative AI to suggest how to complete large chunks of code as soon as a person starts typing. GitHub’s owner, Microsoft, said in its latest quarterly earnings that there are now 1.3 million paid Copilot accounts—a 30 percent increase over the previous quarter—and noted that 50,000 different companies use the software. “There’s clear consensus from the developer community after using these tools that it needs to be a pair-programmer copilot,” Dohmke says. Copilot’s power is in how it abstracts away complexity for a programmer trying to work through a problem, Dohmke says.
