Show me several convincing examples of AI replacing programming.

Don't fall for hype, this is not happening. We only got some okay snippet generators and some semi-adequate translators of simple pieces of code, from a limited set of languages to another.

There's nothing else. AI is not replacing programming yet. Or even soon.




The "Devin AI developer" demo was totally misleading. It's a bit like having an AI look at a lawyer's e-mail inbox and reply to a couple of them with legit-appearing legalese, then claim you've developed an AI lawyer.

You'd have thought they'd at least have cherry-picked an example where "Devin" did something useful, but in fact the Upwork job they set it loose on was just asking for a repository to be updated to build correctly (with latest tool versions), and Devin ignored this and went and introduced a bunch of bugs by making coding changes .. and then came back and fixed it's own bugs!
