I think that AI has killed, or is about to kill, pretty much every single modifier we want to put in front of the word “developer.”
“.NET developer”? Meaningless. Copilot, Cursor, etc can get anyone conversant enough with .NET to be productive in an afternoon … as long as you’ve done enough other programming that you know what to prompt.
OpenAI says ChatGPT usage has doubled since last year. Official ChatGPT usage numbers don't come along very often:
OpenAI said on Thursday that ChatGPT now has more than 200 million weekly active users — twice as many as it had last November.
Axios reported this first, then Emma Roth at The Verge confirmed that number with OpenAI spokesperson Taya Christianson, adding:
Additionally, Christianson says that 92 percent of Fortune 500 companies are using OpenAI's products, while API usage has doubled following the release of the company's cheaper and smarter model GPT-4o Mini.

Art is notoriously hard to define, and so are the differences between good art and bad art. But let me offer a generalization: art is something that results from making a lot of choices. […] to oversimplify, we can imagine that a ten-thousand-word short story requires something on the order of ten thousand choices. When you give a generative-A.I. program a prompt, you are making very few choices; if you supply a hundred-word prompt, you have made on the order of a hundred choices.
If an A.I. generates a ten-thousand-word story based on your prompt, it has to fill in for all of the choices that you are not making.
