Reply to comment by Swimming_Gain_4989 in This sub seems weirdly hopeful? I don't get it. by [deleted]

I think those are precisely the jobs that will not be replaced, particularly at the highest levels.

Speaking from somebody in the field, if AI was as good at programming as OP thinks it is we would be ecstatic. So much of our field is made up of web based hack jobs to cobble together technology that was never intended to work together, and it constantly changes so no "fix" is permanent. If there was something capable of automating all of that googling and deciphering undocumented, horrible APIs we would have the time and incentive to actually work on cool shit.

If it was so advanced that any human direction was a hindrance virtually every other white collar job would already be obsolete.

i'm in the field too and while you're right, it won't replace them completely, it will absolutely replace the worst maybe half of the people I've had to suffer working with over the decades. and i'd welcome it.
