Ive been working with them for a while now and the areas I see it disrupting are:

* User interfaces. It does provide a genuinely new way to interface seamlessly with existing software.

* Translation.

* Generating bullshit. Yes, there's demand for this even if perhaps there shouldnt be.

* Not much else. That includes using it as a specialized autocomplete. I think it falls down pretty badly at that.

It is (or was, see my other comment) pretty good at generating standardized boilerplate code, which was quite useful.

Not so good at anything that's (for want of a better term) "creative".

Ive noticed that too. I think it will lead to an excess of boilerplate and less refactoring to remove boilerplate. I'd consider these things to be at best neutral and maybe net negative.

RAG?

I filed that under "new kind of UI".
