Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT are revolutionizing software development by writing code and building applications.
Concerns have been raised about AI's influence on programming languages and the profession of software development, with risks including oversimplification, dependency, and standardization of coding styles.
AI tools favor mainstream languages, potentially neglecting niche languages, leading to biases in the job market and reducing creativity and innovation in programming.
The limitations of AI in understanding human intuition, ethics, complex system design, and collaboration highlight the need for developers to view AI as a collaborator rather than a creator.
