You're assuming we'll see the same exponential improvements as it has had in the past two years, and there are no signs that this will happen

> The thing is, once you're used to that kind of productivity, you can't come back.

Somehow everyone who sees "amazing unbelievable productivity gains" assumes that their experience is the only true experience, and whoever says otherwise lies or doesn't have the skills or whatever.

I've tried it with Swift and Elixir. I didn't see any type of "this kind of productivity" for several reasons:

- one you actually mentioned: "working with it more like i would work with a junior dev, and slowly iterating on the features"

It's an eager junior with no understanding of anything. "Slowly iterating on features" does not scream "this kind of productivity"

- it's a token prediction machine limited by it's undocumented and unknowable training set.

So if most of its data comes from 2022, it will keep predicting tokens from that time even if it's no longer valid, or deprecated, or superseded by better approaches. I gave up trying to fix its invalid and or deprecated output for a particular part of code after 4 attempts, and just rewrote it myself.

These systems are barely capable of outputting well-known boilerplate code. Much less "this kind of productivity" for whatever it means
