yeah but you could get the AI to write the code on your personal laptop, then copy it over to the work laptop.

I can see this being a thing.. "I have three jobs as Senior Engineer for three different organisations. All I do is copy code from an AI engine to my work laptop all day"

I guess that could happen and we will definitely see some people try this. But in the grand scheme of things, it will be exceptionally rare. Most developers can't work outside their developer environment set up by their company, they often rely on internal tools, services hosted on the internal network, stuff like that. If stackoverflow and google didn't cause this to happen, I don't see how GPT will.

Are you kidding me? Is this really how you see our industry? You really think that most developers literally can not do work without their company's IT setting up their machine?

Is this normal? This to me sounds like you are saying most devs are such noobs that they can't do their jobs.
