Yeah, it may feel scary but the biggest issue yet to be overcome is that to replace engineers you need reliable long horizon problem solving skills. And crucially, you need to not be easily fooled by the progress or setbacks of a project.

These benchmark accomplishments are awesome and impressive, but you shouldn't operate on the assumption that this will emerge as an engineer because it performs well on benchmarks.

Engineering is a discipline that requires understanding tools, solutions and every project requires tiny innovations. This will make you more valuable, rather than less. Especially if you develop a deep understanding of the discipline and don't overly rely on LLMs to answer your own benchmark questions from your degree.
