Ask HN: What will AI coding look like when today's CS freshmen graduate?

What do you expect AI coding to look like four years from now? Will it be like Go after AlphaGo, where even Ke Jie could only say "they no longer knew what they were fighting against"? Or will it just be like today, just stronger, with humans still driving the work and AI as a powerful assistant? | ||||||||||| |
