ChatGPT came out 3 years ago. 3 years . It was nothing but a party trick that could create some lines of code with hallucinated libraries. Today, almost everyone uses AI to code and more often than not people say that they do not even code anymore themselves, they simply do the planning and let Claude / Codex / whatever do the implementation. How long will it take until even the planning and validation is done reliably by AI without much supervision? Another 3 years? Or maybe not even 1 year from now on? Do you really think a company is going to hire the same amount of Software Engineers to do this kind of work and still pay them big bucks? Do you really think your future is going to be to sit in your cushy chair and watch the AI do all the work while you … do what? Software Engineering and a lot of tech jobs in general going to die. And the competition until it’s dead will be brutal. Honestly, you must be out of your mind if you still consider starting a career in this field these days. Robotics is still going to take a while to catch up, so learning a craft might be the most viable option currently. Everyone else just has to hang in there and hope our governments find a way to deal with this. submitted by /u/Own-Sort-8119
