I have a few questions about copilot. I haven’t gotten a chance to use it yet.

Is it irrational that this makes me a little anxious about job security over the longterm? Idk why but this was my initial reaction when learning about this.

Given the scenario where copilot and its likes becomes used in a widespread manner. Can it be argued that this might improve productivity but stifle innovation?

Im pretty early in my career but the rate things are capable of changing soon doesn’t sit too well with me.

I wouldn't worry about job security. Programming is a story of steady gradual automation and all that's done is increased its reach and multiplied the number of niches where there is demand for software.

Future developers might be more like architects guiding AIs and then occasionally jumping in to hand-hold or correct the result.
