Will AI change our developer profession?
summary
Generative AI tools like GitHub Copilot are shown shortening developer workflows by suggesting code, translating Java to C#, and scaffolding APIs and Terraform directly inside IDEs using file context and prompt-driven refinement. The talk emphasizes these models are statistical generators (a subset of deep learning), not AGI, and warns of hallucinations, brittle behavior without richer context, and licensing/legal risks from trained corpora while citing a measured 77% reduction in time spent searching.
