OpenAI’s Kevin Weil predicts end of human coders, says AI will surpass them by year-end

In a recent interview with Varun Mayya and Tanmaya Bhatt on their YouTube show Overpowered, OpenAI’s Chief Product Officer, Kevin Weil, made a bold prediction: AI will surpass human coders by the end of this year.

Weil was responding to Anthropic’s claim that coding automation would not become a reality until 2027, but he confidently countered, stating, “At the rate we’re going, I would be surprised if it’s 2027. I think it’s going to be sooner.”
