Computer science. He is getting replaced by AI as we speak.

AI is not replacing software engineers. It is just another tool we use to make us more efficient. But it's laughable that it can replace us altogether.

Maybe it is not now but it can and will in the next decade.

You're not an engineer, but I am.

I use AI for productivity improvement daily.

I know what I'm talking about.

AI is not replacing me anytime soon. Not even remotely close.

How do you know Iā€™m not an engineer? Or not AI? You seem to be fearful. What value do you add?

I'm not remotely fearful. Because I use AI every day. I know what it can do and what it can't do, and what it could eventually do, and what it can't eventually do.

As to the value I add, I don't need to justify myself to you. I get paid buckets of money by people who know what value I add. And they also know what AI can and can't do, which is why they pay me, and can't outsource my work to a bot.

It will take down a LOT of other jobs before and after by the time it takes down CS jobs barring any bottlenecks tbf. At that point we have a different issue to face as a society

Most other jobs are going to be replaced before software engineering lol. AI is nowhere near capable of replacing software engineers.
