AI most definitely is a coworker already. You do delegate some work for which you previously had to hire humans.

And the amount of work that could be delegated, with equal or better results than those from average human workers, is far higher than currently attempted in most companies. Industries have barely started using the potential of even current-generation AI.

Agreed, and with each passing month the work that 'could' be done increases. I don't write code anymore, for example, (after 20 years of doing so) Opus does that part of the job for me now. I think we have a period where current experienced devs are still in the loop, but that will eventually go away too.

And than you fix the produces shit, got high blood pressure and think "damn it,how I would love to yell at that employee"

You say that, but it's been better than most employees for a year or so ( *for specific tasks, of course. It's still not better than "an employee" )

Not true at all with frontier models in last ~6 months or so. The frontier models today produce code better than 90% of junior to mid-level human developers.

Just like a real employee!
