Will anybody use AI as much as coders do?

Great article in The Economist making the case for why AI is good at coding and may not be as effective and prolific in customer service, legal, and finance - the next categories expected to get foggy.

Excerpt: Part of why AI has proved so successful as a programming buddy is that huge amounts of open-source code are published on the internet. It has thus made its way into models, accounting for almost a fifth of all training data in some cases. The same volume of publicly available content simply does not exist for customer complaints or contract negotiations.
