How long before software engineering roles are in decline because one engineer can leverage GPT to do the work of ten? It's truly a new innovation that requires relearning the toolset. Every generation seems to have some abstraction over the last. This feels like a new way to program.

I don't know how long but we are clearly hitting an exponential curve here as improvements build on improvements that build on improvements.

A deeper question is how long until hand written code has too many bugs that it is worthless compared to AI code?

There is also the problem that once AI code is that good, there is no point in all this abstraction and overhead from language features aimed at human programmers. An AI programming language can be much faster and closer to binary.

I just can't imagine not seeing in my lifetime some kind of prompt that I can make a clone of this website in 2 seconds along with a 1000 variations along with the site being as fast as possible.
