I agree, it’s very up in the air.

I just find it funny how many people with 0 SE experience or mathematical background is telling us we are wrong 😂 especially since I studied AI and suddenly these overnight professionals who were mocking AI 5 years ago are acting more knowledgable. What a world we live in.

Once the job of a software engineer is completely replaced it likely means we have solved logistical thinking and planning with AI.

Right now I can go download templates for apps/websites/ use website builders etc and none of these killed SEs yet AI still cant compete with a template that is already pre-made.

Once we solve logistical planning and AI can truly develop things, simultaneously we would've got rid of every job in the world. It would only be a matter of years before the AI designed robots, factories etc would replace physical labour in that instance.

It's not even a hammer right now, more like using a rock as a hammer that breaks every few hits.

If it can replace programmers then can't any profession be replaced?

"Please write me a program that can trade stocks at high velocity relative to market trends" Boom lots of finance bros are gone.

The thing people are ignoring that is as long as there are other jobs, there will be a need for software engineers to try automate them, if SE are replaced, it means every job can be replaced without a SE
