Right now it’s fairly limited , hence the many ‘programmers will always be needed’ opinions.
What worries me is the trend and speed at which things are progressing, especially with the amount of money thrown at it.
If you believe the trend will stay then many of us will be out of a job in a few years. If you don’t then you’re safe.
There are already markets ( translation, illustration etc ) where AI has changed things significantly. Ours is slightly different because it requires formal things to be correct unlike translations or illustrations which can be slightly ‘off’.
My view is that either AIs learn how to generate human debuggable or already correct code, or it won’t work and the trend will stop. I believe there’s a fundamental hardness here - if they break that , then other things will change and our world will be fundamentally different.
Note, this is all belief !
