I've said this elsewhere but while I think most investment in AI is with the intention of automating as many jobs as possible, I'm not particularly worried about the AI future that so many others seem to be. Historically the thing that drives adoption of automation is whether or not it's cheaper to replace a person (or only some part of the workforce) with a machine. I think in the case of developers AI will be used to make developers more efficient and therefore justify reducing their pay overall (...which is maybe the only aspect of AI I actually am worried about!).

Good point! (I am worried about pay factor because I am a software engineer too), But I think that it will also open up new opportunities for people. Maybe we are maintaining those AI systems that are writing efficient code, who knows!

Still, I think creative work can't be replaced by automation or anything.
