As another oldster, yes, yes absolutely.
But the deeper question is: can this change? They can't do the job now, will they be able to in the future?
My understanding of what LLM's do/how they work suggests a strong "no". I'm not confident about my confidence, however.
But my issue is with people that claim we are either at that point, or very nearly it.
...No, we are not. We are not even 10% there. I am certain LLMs will be a crucial part of such a general AI one day but it's quite funny how people mistake the brain's frontal lobe with the entire brain. :)
I am even fixing one small app currently that the business owner generated with ChatGPT. So this entire discussion here is doubly amusing for me.
I'll stick to my "old-school" programming. I seem to have a very wealthy near-retirement period in front of me. I'll make gobs of money just by not having forgotten how to do programming.
