I know absolutely zero python.
If I needed a python script I had to hire someone. There is just no other option. But now with chatGPT and claudeAI, I have generated 100+ py scripts.
What used to take a full day for me to do manually, now only takes 8 seconds to finish on Google colab.
I create mostly simple scripts but they are customized scripts exactly as I needed. Not even a friend will do this much for me.
I don't know what should be the prices but on average if I had to pay for example, $50 each, it could easily be $5000+.
I know people generating a lot more with it. Imagine just 1000 people doing this like me : $5000 x 1000 = $5,000,000 worth of work.
$5,000,000 vs $0. There is no comparison.
Replacing programmers is another story which is not going to happen soon. But there is definitely some value AI tools are providing right now which is already huge by itself.
