I see systems like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion as "tools" that would aid us in our jobs.

Software Engineers or artists' jobs aren't going to "vanish" instantaneously because of AI; instead, it would make our lives easier.

Low-level menial, entry-level tasks like writing basic, repetitive code or basic design tasks would vanish or slowly phase away. Higher-level functions which require a lot of creativity and critical thinking won't be replaced with AI, at least for a VERY long time.

As it is currently, ChatGPT behaves more like a programmer who is just learning how to code. Just like Photoshop or Figma is a tool for designers, Software Engineers will soon start using ChatGPT to automate certain mundane tasks.

We are already doing that on sites like StackOverflow, where we find Regexes or stuff like that.
