OpenAI’s Latest Model Is a Gift to Coders, Not an Existential Threat, Turing CEO Says

Within hours of OpenAI’s demonstration of its latest advanced reasoning model, o3, social media platforms and online forums were filled with posts from software engineers questioning their future: What happens to their jobs when artificial intelligence can write code better than they can?

But Turing CEO Jonathan Siddharth, whose firm helps OpenAI, Google and others to develop code-writing AI, thinks doomsayers about the future of software engineers have it all wrong. He thinks o3 and other models like it will make being an engineer 100 times more lucrative.
