The image depicts a vast desert landscape with large rock formations in the background. In the foreground, a person is walking away from the viewer on a dirt road, wearing a red shirt and dark pants. To the right, there is a large, futuristic-looking vehicle with a tall, rectangular structure attached to it, possibly a communication or observation tower. The vehicle has a white and blue color scheme and is equipped with six wheels, suggesting it is designed for off-road travel. The desert is sparsely vegetated, with small bushes and a few distant poles visible. The sky is partly cloudy, and the overall color palette consists of warm tones, with the ground appearing reddish-orange and the sky a pale blue.

I use the slightly-AI-enhanced autocomplete in Xcode sometimes.
That's it.
Maybe that'll change in the future, but I see myself only ever using autocomplete-style speedups, not "write it for me”. I usually won't even use code that other humans write!

"He maintained that his comments in 2001 were right at the time but that times have changed."
Not thanks to him. And #Microsoft does not use #Copyleft licenses in their works, like most corporations, including #Google.
Had it not been a monopoly, Microsoft would have disappeared.
