Idk I haven't seen an AI that writes acceptable C/C++ yet (to be honest I haven't looked that hard)... So as long as my projects focus is low level, thin, maintainable code, I can still do things AI won't be able to for a long time.

I recognize that being free to write code however I want makes me privileged, and others don't have that freedom.

Despite that, I am afraid of what will happen to the open source tools I depend on. None of us write our code alone.
