It’s not that I don’t think AI will replace jobs. It’s just that programming is so much more than just writing code.
An LLM, which is the best thing we have right now, doesn’t understand concepts. And most of my job is taking problems and figuring out the best solution given a whole massive heap of context. That’s not something an LLM will ever be able to do.
Until we have something like general AI, my job is safe.

Hey, AI is pretty good at attending meetings. It still needs to learn how to drink coffee, though!

But seriously though, machines did end up replacing a lot of jobs. They added some jobs too, but I don’t know how the ratio is.
