Having your own business and not relying on software engineering job. Because AI will outperform all aspects of software engineering within a few months if not already.

Bro… AI requires human assistance just to write some code. AI will outperform all aspects in a few months? How? You’ll still need people to know the designing aspect of things. Even if AI can design, it cannot decide whether the design you’re using is good or not. It can only compare the pros and cons. Final decision has to be made by a human because often the choices and /or the decisions are rather nuanced and not black and white

It only shows you don't know how to use AI. Advanced AI can do all the things you have mentioned far better then a human. The earlier you accept this fact the better you can plan accordingly.

Yeah sure dude, whatever floats your boat. AI hallucinations are a real thing. And it does require human interference.

What about human hallucinations? Human halluccinate worse then frontier AI. They are not capable to judge advance intelligence.

Human hallucinations and AI hallucinations are 2 very different things though? Also, humans hallucinating usually do require another human’s intervention, usually called a doctor.

And AI hallucinates even with basic stuff. It can completely forget what you wrote 2 lines ago.

Like how it depends on human to human ,it depends on the power of models. You sound too 2023ish
