If the code has been written before, and is available online (GitHub, Stack overflow etc.), GPT is just a much better search engine than Google.
Even though CMSs have been around for decades, there are MANY, and many new ones created all the time. Companies and people have reasons for reinventing the wheel with a proprietary solution (sometimes control, sometimes legal, etc.).
So, you'll still have a job.
If the code hasn't been written before, gen-AI will be able to help flesh out a structure from requirements, but you'll still need a dev to make sure the all of the requirements are present (based on what humans know about humans within the context of the problem being solved) and that logic is solid (AI can supplement here). Especially when you start creating or modifying 1M+ line codebases.
And humans will always trust humans (or humans + machines) more than machines acting alone. Maybe I'm just starting to sound old, but "AI + Da Vinci" is NEVER performing an operation on my body. I'm choosing "an experienced human surgeon + Da Vinci" 100% of the time.
All the regular programmers like us, working a bit and living our lives, are on the block. People like this guy want to take bread off our tables so he can roll around in even more money, but he has a soul, so he has to rationalize it away. He insults us by saying the work we do is useless grunt work and hypes it up so the less perceptive of us get excited about it.
immortalloom, I think you genuinely believe in what you're doing. But drive through an old factory town and think about it for a bit.
