Right programmers will be the last people with jobs. Because of the level of specialization still being quite high for network/ IT work if any kind. If anyone should be scared about their job in the near future it would be manufacturing, medical, and clerical/office work. I watched phone qa essentially dissapear as an industry replaced by interactive intelligence AI that grades the calls. I used to set up call centers, and I watched qa basically dissapear as a job.

I've worked as a programmer and also been involved in software startups, and I can confidently say the main work of most programmers will be completely automated in a few short years. Maybe 1 out of 10 of those can keep a job as an AI whisperer or adviser to clients et. but even that more "creative" job is based on information easily integrated in a model. It's going to be rough.

Gpt3 and things like commit assistant do look promising. But that’s stil 30 years out considering how slowly the actual industry adopts Ai. Maybe game developers and FAANG companies will adopt these tools. But fintech, medical, and government are very slow to catch on imo.
