This HBR article on the current uses of Generative AI ranks the areas of use compared to a year ago. It's interesting to note that the use of Generative AI for code development increased from the 47th most used application area a year ago to the 5th most used now. Likewise Code improvement increased from the 19th most used application area to the 8th most used. This is the use of AI for coding by professional developers not what I would call casual coding.

Gartner Peer Insights has a list and ratings of many of the AI coding assistants from both existing major vendors and from newer startups. Gartner also recently predicted that 75% of enterprise software engineers will be using coding assistants by 2028. There are now a variety of AI coding tool free training classes, this is just an example from Coursera.

A new programming paradigm has just been "defined" by Andrej Karpathy a co-founder of Open AI called Vibe Coding. A short description is that you don't use AI as an assistant you use AI to generate all of the code and just describe functionality, appearance and changes. Supposedly you don't need to be able to code at all to code in this manner. It is a serious enough concept that MIT Technology Review has an article describing it.
