The title basically. I am not with those people who say AI will complete replace everything (in the shorter term) and also not with those who are ignorant of the developments. However I feel that SWE and even AI-assisted SWE is slowly dying. Programmers have started digging their own graves so to speak. However where I find AI totally ineffective is when we task it with real-time data and manipulation (emphasis on manipulation). I would think it would generally be a good idea for programmers to slowly start shifting towards robotics of some sort. May not be the next android but something like supply chain automation or household robotics or even drones. What I mean is- something with a hardware or real world data manipulation. Eventually AI might replace that too but I feel there are a lot of jobs opening in that domain in the next 10-20 years. I may be wrong but this is my gut feeling. Personally, I don’t now want to miss the train and end up on the wrong side (unemployment) since I am even more concerned with ‘upskilling’ in such an uncertain industry.
I would like to hear your views!
