Economy

I use AI at work to write software for me. Pretty much error free the first time. The "thinking" part of the job is in detailing the query sufficiently to solve the issue.

The lower the amount of invention needed the more AI will take over.

I was doing Dev/OPS for a large tech company... but python scripts to process report generation from logs of thousands or millions of log files (JSON or TXT or whatever) can now be completely done by Bard or ChatGPT. Fortunately I was recently promoted to Senior Architect and changed divisions away from the Dev/OPS team. I think the army of engineers in my former division could easily be on the chopping blocks.

On the other hand, my company is growing rapidly so they are still hiring.
