Programming is a unique and rewarding field that demands a combination of technical skill and human creativity. Over the years, I have encountered numerous challenges that have required me to rely on the ingenuity of the human spirit to find solutions.
At the same time, I've also seen the emergence of AI tools that can assist programmers in their work. For example, chatbots like ChatGPT can help programmers automate repetitive tasks, generate code snippets, and even offer suggestions for optimizing performance. These tools are incredibly powerful and can save programmers a significant amount of time and effort.
However, despite the impressive capabilities of AI tools like ChatGPT, they will never replace programmers. Programming is not simply about generating code; it's about solving complex problems and finding creative solutions. It requires a deep understanding of the needs and desires of the users, as well as the ability to think outside the box and innovate.
AI tools like ChatGPT lack the human ingenuity and creativity that are essential to programming. They may be able to generate code, but they cannot understand the nuances of human behavior or anticipate the needs and desires of users. They cannot think creatively or come up with innovative solutions to complex problems. In short, they lack the human spirit that is so integral to the programming process.
To illustrate this point, let me share another anecdote from my own experience. I once worked on a project for a healthcare company that required me to develop a custom software solution for their patient management system. The system needed to be fast, responsive, and secure, with robust reporting capabilities that would allow doctors and administrators to easily access and analyze patient data.
To accomplish this, I turned to my trusted tools of the trade: Python, Django, and MySQL. I also utilized a number of AI tools, including natural language processing algorithms, machine learning models, and predictive analytics software.
These tools were incredibly useful in helping me automate certain tasks and generate insights from the patient data. However, they were not enough on their own. I had to rely on my own ingenuity and creativity to design a system that met the specific needs of the healthcare company. I had to understand the needs of the doctors and administrators, anticipate their wants and needs, and create a system that was not only functional but also intuitive and easy to use.
In the end, it was the combination of technical skill and human ingenuity that allowed me to create a successful solution for the healthcare company. And while AI tools like ChatGPT may be able to assist programmers in their work, they will never be able to fully replace the human spirit that is so essential to the programming process.

Nice punchline
I don't really see where the paradox is to be honest. Intellij assists greatly by programming and feels like magic but it can never replace human ingenuity. And that's probably true to some extent of every tool ever invented. In fact tools are exactly that, human ingenuity.
ChatGpt is like the parrot of the internet, his mastering of language is impressive and it's quite useful but it's artificial, not actual intelligence.
