i have mentored a few people to become Programmers. Some for months, some for years. It's like teaching someone to ride a bycicle. Hand-holding first, then hand-guiding, then short flights, then longer... Different people pick stuff at different pace and shape.. but they do learn.. if they want to.
What i completely miss in these LLM parrots-agents-generators, is the learning. You can't teach them anything. They would not remember. Tabula rasa / Clean slate, every time. They may cite Shakespeare - or whatever code scrubbed from github - and concoct it to unrecognizability - but that's it. Hard rules or guardrails for every-little-thing are unsustainable to keep (and/or create) - expert-systems, rule-based no-code/low-code.. has been unsuccessful for decades).
Maybe, next AI wave.
And, there's no understanding. But that also applies to quite some people :/
The goal isn't to use AI, though, it's to be productive. Maybe for you AI + writing support tools to improve your workflow makes you more productive and that's great! For me, for the kind of work I'm currently doing, I'm more productive in other ways.
