I can't speak to your experience as a programmer, but an insignificantly small part of my day is spent searching online for how to write some piece of code, so optimizing that process will not fundamentally change my job in any way.

I am going to guess that you are not a junior programmer or a young teenager who is just starting to learn to program?
As for my experience, I am not a programmer. I can program in multiple languages, but I don't quite think the way programmers do, and I am an idiot, so I tend to use things like LLMs / GPT to help me learn new ways to program and new languages.

I learned to program by looking at other people's code, either directly or through documentation and blog posts. Having a robot parrot regurgitate stolen code doesn't seem like an improvement to that process.
What the LLMs are good at doing is providing the average output of whatever data you feed into it, so if you don't have experience programming, it can definitely help you be average. But if you want to do something professionally, you can't just stop there.
