Sam Altman argued it was "already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took" for coders to write software.

Altman’s remarks in his tweet drew an overwhelmingly negative reaction.

“You’re welcome,” one user responded. “Nice to know that our reward is our jobs being taken away.”

Others called him a “f***ing psychopath” and “scum.”

“Nothing says ‘you’re being replaced’ quite like a heartfelt thank you from the guy doing the replacing,” one user wrote.

    Yeah he sounds like those managers comparing work to how many lines of code you wrote.

    Most code I write is something that has not been written before, so barring the basics it’s not an AI I need to work but silence and clear goals (even if they change tomorrow).

      The pattern for me is usually 2 or 3 days of analyzing how something works, should work or doesn’t work, then 2 or 3 hours of writing the code to implement or fix it. Most of the work is not writing code, and that is definitely the easy bit.
