Most software is just middlemen collecting money. Thats the reason why there is no economic drastic growth even with 2-3 years of AI.

What you’re worrying about is just bigger middlemen.

If you were not a value extracting middleman there would be no fear of replacement, because you can always create more than what you take.

I’m glad if this causes a shift in the industry and we lose x analysts, x architects, x scientists, data engineers and all other formulaic middlemen that just live in a weird middlemen economy.

It is immense luck that we don’t have to actually produce something and we get paid but it is much better if we’re forced to actually do something that isn’t empty.
