Yes, SWE as a paid profession will disappear within 2-3 years, probably not long after GPT-6 is out. But don’t feel bad about our field - this will happen to all professions, some sooner than others. I expect that within 5 years robots will do everything a human can do, only much better, much faster, and much cheaper.

I’m sure this comment will age really well.

Soon Robots will have their GPT moment and there'll be a massive change in every industry.

I hope you're wrong in a number of areas, like war, law, medical, etc. Computer says no/yes in these contexts can (and do currently) do real damage.

[p1esk]

Sure. But even GPT-4 can be helpful in these areas, and I’m talking about GPT-6 and beyond. It’s fascinating how most people are not willing to look even a little bit into the near future.

What advances will GPT-6 have? More of the same or AGI, in your opinion?

Bookmarked for posterity, thanks.
