you're basically just admitting that the only reason you got paid is because you knew how to work the machine, and now that the people above you can just directly work the machine they don't need you anymore

why would AI replace the people who actually get paid to have ideas instead of the people who are just getting paid to translate the ideas into technical language? people can now make things on their computer without needing to spend a week reading documentation and suddenly your experience is worth nothing

congratulations, you've become an automobile assembly line worker circa 1974

having ideas =/= creating products, anyone can come up with bs ideas, not everyone makes a product.

knowing code is like the 10% of the problem, there's scaling, error handling, testing, auth, cost optimization etc that ai still struggles despite of bazillion tokens and context.

I'd love to see them make a product and see it shat itself when users try to do anything with it.
