It is certainly already better than most humans, even better than most humans who occasionally code. The bar is already quite high, I'd say. You have to be decent in your niche to outcompete frontier LLM Agents in a meaningful way.

I'm only allowed 4.5 at work where I do this (likely to change soon but bureaucracy...). Still the resulting code is not at a level I expect.

i told my boss (not fully serious) we should ban anyone with less than 5 years experience from using the ai so they learn to write and recognize good code.

The key difference here is that humans can progress. They can learn reasoning skills, and can develop novel methods.

The LLM is a stochastic parrot. It will never be anything else unless we develop entirely new theories.

And yet, claude is improving at programming much faster than I am. Maybe its skill will hit a ceiling at some point, but it hasn't happened yet.
