How many years left for >50% of eng jobs to get replaced by AI?
Yes
Salaries in India are not cheap anymore. 5-10 more years for folks to loose jobs to AI!
Those voting "Not gonna happen" are living under rock and probably first to be replaced by AI
Have you tried using ChatGPT lately? I personally am not worried at all. AI products that exist today are mostly trash. And it’s only a matter of time before Altman ends up in prison which should debunk the entire thing anyways
If AI can bring the engineer productivity increases it is supposed to, it's possible that engineering will stop being a bottleneck for tech company growth in which case the number of engineering roles will at best stay the same and possibly decrease. On the other hand, its possible that more productive engineering and cheaper computational power will make it possible to launch businesses currently seen as unfeasibly expensive. This could have a net positive effect on open engineering roles.
I don't understand how anyone can be on this site catered to engineering professionals, and are presumably engineers themselves, think that we'll be replaced anytime soon. Anyone who's worked professionally as an IT professional knows that the kind of shit we have to do is nearly fucking impossible for an AI to ever do, at least not within our lifetimes. Engineering is more than just writing code, and definitely a lot more than the shitty, buggy, and inefficient code that chatGPT ends to crap out.
By AI, no By cheap India/South America/Eastern Europe labors, 5 years
Would have already happened if it were going to.
It didn’t happen because millions of Indian students were still in school. From 22 onward every year there are more supplies coming to market compare to last 10 years combined.
