Probably using agents and whatnot to speed up programming and spending less time copying from stack overflow. He might be able to make it work, but I’m skeptical.
I’m pretty optimistic about it. AI is a tool that is a terrible replacement for human creativity, however, it’s very useful for organization and programming. I think people hear ‘AI’ and immediately worry that it’ll become a crutch or abused in some way… for pretty obvious reasons. But I highly doubt we’ll ever see Kojima’s sense of creativity replaced by a machine.
I’ve been a bit of a stick in the mud when it comes to using AI but what you said seems fairly accurate. It is so easy to detect when anything is written mostly or entirely by AI because it does completely lack creativity. But it is easier to just use an agent to implement standard boilerplate code that a qualified human will review than copying and pasting from stack overflow. Or to quickly summarize an email chain. Or even to come up with a quick software prototype if you are confident that you will not be forced to make whatever code it comes up with actually work well.

I’d be wary about coding anything public-facing though. I have yet to see an AI that codes with security in mind.
Hell, how does it do at performance optimization? Don’t have to worry about security when you’ve bricked all the low-end/unusual machines.
The idea is to treat the AI like a junior developer and review its work, not to vibe code your auth system
