Reply to comment by gantork in Is my career soon to be nonexistent? by apyrexvision

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.
