But has anyone here seen any evidence of AI impacting software jobs? Maybe my company is just behind the times, but I'm seeing no indication that AI is going to displace anyone. Copilot and GPT-4 are convenient and speed up certain parts of the job, but the parts they impact aren't where the bulk of my time was spent anyway.

What exactly are you expecting? That a company will post a job opening and then tell the candidates "On second thought we've passed you all up for AI"?

That's never gonna happen.

As far as you seeing no indication, I saw a job posting today on Indeed for a Software QA and one of the bullet points included working with AI tools. So you may not see it anecdotally but it's out there.

Actually, ya know what. I went and tracked that job posting down https://us-redhat.icims.com/jobs/100347/senior-software-qual...

It's from Red Hat... So yeah... It's significant

I can't honestly say for sure, but I would say there's a possibility that AI was a factor in at least some of the layoffs last spring. Once June / July rolled around though, no way.
