I've started using ChatGPT 3.5 consistently at work and the amount of work I can accomplish has gone up exponentially. Mainly I am writing Matlab software for data analysis, but tasks that usually took me a couple of months I can get done in a couple of days now.
I don't buy the idea that AI is going to replace software engineers because you have to have at least an intermediate level of understanding of the code language you are using to get out what you want. I could see some smaller companies that special in custom software going out of business because any proprietary software they have developed over years is going to be able to be reproduced much more quickly and cheaper
I do believe we are about to take another huge leap forward in the information age.
