Many tech companies and/or training places did try to though didn't they? I know they do boot camps, coding classes in schools and a whole bunch of other initiatives to get people into the industry. Teaching kids and adults coding skills has been attempted; the issue is more IMO that not everyone has the interest and/or aptitude to continue with it. The problem is that there's parts of the industry/job that aren't actually easy to teach (note not all of it); can be quite stressful and require constant keeping up - IMO if you don't love it you won't stick with it. As software demand grows, despite the high salaries (particularly in the US) and training, supply didn't keep up with demand till recently.

In any case I'm not saying I think they will achieve it, or achieve it soon - I don't have that foresight. I'm just elaborating on their implied stated goals; they don't state them directly but reading their announcements on their models, code tools, etc that's IMO their implied end game. Anthrophic recently announced statistics that most of their model usage is for coding. Thinking it is just augmentation doesn't justify the money IMO put into these companies by VC's, funds, etc - they are looking for bigger payoffs than that remembering that many of these AI companies aren't breaking even yet.

I was replying the the parent comment - augmentation and/or copilots don't seem to be their end game/goal. Whether they are actually successful is another story.

I can tell that I am aware of some in-house trainings, where AI has taken over the jobs of the translation team, for example.

But lets keep cheering until it does become good enough to come for our developer jobs.
