> I expect our work will change: we'll be able to spend more time thinking about what we are building and less time typing code on our keyboards. But if anything, we're going to become more valuable - because we'll be able to get a whole lot more done.

That would be lovely, but not how efficiency works in a capitalistic society. We can produce cars much faster in a factory then we could in the past due to various factors including automation. This doesn't mean the workers get to take their time and a do a better job. Instead it means they are expected to have a higher volume.

This is what I worry about with the rise of LLM programming (especially as someone who is less than impressed with the actual output I've seen). It's not that I as a software engineer will be replaced by someone using GPT, but rather it's I'll be replaced by another software engineer who doesn't care, using GPT to produce 3x as much "software" at half the quality because the only metric that some will look at is volume.
