True right now, but in 5-10 years?

Automation may reduce team sizes. One person can do the work of four, type of thing. But there is more to the role than autocompleting the next lines of code. When there is full AGI, then the job is extinct- but so are the other jobs too.

Right, in a few years this will probably be able to handle entire applications by itself so I do think that eventually there'll be no need for people. I saw a dude asking it to write a tic tac toe game in python, and it made the classes and functions, all the logic correct with everything commented and it was playable in the terminal. The guy then broke the code in a couple of places and asked GPT to explain the problems and it went line by line explaining the errors and the fix perfectly. It even suggested new improvements to the code it had written itself before.
At this point I don't even think we need AGI to replace people.

It's all very "wow", but most of the examples I've seen so far were small, neat, well defined problems. Things that I can easily see being coded for hobby reasons. The AI probably saw many, many good examples of those when training. I dunno, it's "wait and see" for me.

100% agree. I don’t think people realize how good it is and how much better the tech will improve over the coming years

Are there still farmers? Of course there are.
There will still be software engineers, but their jobs will be very different. Someone will need to define the inputs and outputs ,what it is supposed to do, to interact with. The actual code will mostly be written by AI, but it's direction will be determined by people.
Perhaps eventually even that will go away, but if that's the case, no job is safe.

Yeah we can't automate farmers and higher level software development yet, but it seems we'll be able rather soon. That's why I disagree with saying that we will always need people for those jobs.

Once it "understands" what it's doing, there literally won't be any problem it can't solve.
