Hello and welcome to One Minute Tech. Today we’re talking about how artificial intelligence is coming for the very people who built it: software developers. Since ChatGPT’s debut, we’ve worried about essays and novels—but the real iceberg looms under our code. As NYU’s Dr. Weatherby warns, “A.I. is just as much a challenge to numeracy” as it is to literacy. Students who once wrote data-parsing scripts now feed spreadsheets to chatbots and get instant analysis. Top engineer Andrej Karpathy calls this “vibecoding,” saying he can “barely even touch the keyboard,” letting AI handle the grunt work. But early reports show such AI-generated code is inefficient, riddled with errors—and developers may lose the skill entirely if they stop coding by hand. Even giants like Google and Microsoft admit AI now writes a quarter of their code. The question remains: as AI automates programming, what happens to the human brain behind the keyboard?
