You shouldn't feel anymore threatened by this than by interchangeable parts. People upskill and society ends up as a massive net beneficiary.

Until we have ASI (imho we're not remotely close) then there is plenty of work to be done. It will just involve fewer menial tasks.

It merely depends what we point the AI at whether we get full blown software engineering out it. I mean right now people only point it at tasks that can be written/watched, reasoned about easily, and then verified. There probably needs to be a jump to the visual spectrum like a wireframe overlay for code/projects which will allow humans to quickly verify what it is "thinking" architecturally. There just needs to be a lot more imagining of ghost features and trade offs somehow. People barely comment code let alone speak of all things that are being done away with.
