I've been a software developer for 30 years. I've loved getting into AI and working with it to code, but here is the truth: I plan the solution architecture, orchestrate the AI to code, verify the code it creates, then point out all the security, scalability and design flaws it introduced. So can I be replaced by an AI? Not yet at least, but, I am made more efficient. Does that equate to job loses? Possibly. A development team of 10 people, once patterns and practices are created, become more efficient. They either produce more, or some team members might be let go and output is maintained.

Of course, but that's kinda the point I'm making here:

It's a tool not a replacement.

Job losses due to productivity may be inevitable, but that's not the same as being replaced by AI, that's being displaced.

I agree. One day the AI might be good enough, but not today.
