Might be biased from the software domain I work in (embedded/networking), but chatgpt-like software development seems far more likely to be an aid or informational rather than authoritative (read: auto-generating entire programs). For simple programs where the requirements are trivial, sure. But for any software with a bit of complexity, that is integrated with other software of similar complexity, I don’t see how this becomes a job destroyer. In most software roles I’ve worked, big and small, the actual development is largely factoring and balancing a ton of requirements (security, performance, business needs/timelines, customer asks, hardware constraints, operations, on and on). You’d probably have to write a hell of a chatgpt prompt to explain the entirety of what you need to replace the human factors of evaluating all of that :-) Edit: I like the comment below about the movie industry. The evolution of technology has pushed the boundary of whats possible, but still have a lot of the same needs in terms of people.
