The technology we’re seeing now seems on track to eat up some pretty low-level “art” tasks like pulp copywriting, boilerplate coding, token illustration and design, etc. There’s little reason to expect a lot more from it any time soon. If you came to software engineering or data science because it looked like a high-paying career for a nerd, and easier to break into then law, medicine, or trading, this isn’t a bad time to hop off. Hitch your wagon to this AI stuff and you can be a Senior Prompt Engineer in a decade and outearn all of us. But those of us who enjoy our craft and have genuine expertise don’t really need to worry about anything (except the bursting of a pay bubble that was due soon anyway).
