Exactly, I get irked when I read these stupid stories, there is no 'threat' of automation and AI, anyone who works in sw field knows the extent of manual work in it. We are not even _near_ an age where we have working AIs sold to someone else. Watson is a real AI but it is an AI as a service, they don't sell watson clones and there is a reason, it is HUGE, hence you get the wit of Watson at a few $$$ per hour. This AI hype will go away soon and blockchain hype will start in a few months, "BLOCKCHAIN TO CAUSE MASSIVE LAYOFFS" "90% UNTRAINABLE IN BLOCKCHAIN" these idiots don't stop for a moment and see if there is a need to train everyone in ML, if every dev in a company does ML who the f* will write other code?
