I think AI like ChatGPT and similars will become what APIs are today. Just that. Today we wire together a crypto library with some JWT library with some Facebook API using some axios library. We write the code in between. Since we are able to do more, user requirements get more complex, and so software engineers are in more demand. Sure thing, what required 10 engineers in the past (1980) can be done by two today. In the same sense, in the future we will be wiring together AI APIs (probably because it will be cheaper to wire together manually N AIs than to write one that is the sum of the N AIs). Since we’ll be able to do more, user requirements will get more complex… and so the demand for software engineers will go up as well. In the future only a couple of engineers will be needed when today we need 10.
