I agree it is easy to believe that AI will replace engineers, but in history the tractor increased yield allowing farms to harvest more grain. Take a project and try to craft a prompt such that the ChatGPT generates a similar function. Although impressive the code won't "fit together" on its own. It is al so important to remember that things such as high level languages and api's have already been abstracting software higher and higher through the years. Software is largely copy pasting code according to your own mental architecture of how things should be created. ChatGPT is only replacing the copy paste part of that process. Yes it's possible that systems integration and prompt generation will play a larger role in the future, the need for software engineers will be present until you can get solid answers for: ChatGpt {"Generate a software package to improve yourself"} actually works.
