As a professional software engineer who has worked closely with AI and machine learning, especially lately, you have nothing to worry about.
Since the 50s, there have been a series of solutions nearly every decade year that we're all meant to "eliminate the professional software engineer." From languages that were meant to be so easy that business people could use them, to no-code/low-code solutions, to ML-powered coding solutions.
AI coding can be impressive, but it basically only works on pointlessly general, well-understood, extremely close ended problems. And even then, I've yet to see Chat-GPT consistently produce better than CS 101 algorithms without errors or shortcomings.
Even if it significantly improves, it'll just join the ranks of every other engineer killer tech as a reasonable support tool to allow business people to make basic software. We need to be talking about AGI before you need to be worried, and I don't care what the fan boys and hype men say, we're not even playing in the same ballpark as AGI for now.
