Lots of people saying that a programmer's job is more than just writing code, and I agree. But consider this:
You give ChatGPT-58 some startup idea and ask it to incorporate the company, build the software, do the marketing, etc. It starts doing a pretty good job. It's in charge of the whole system, so it doesn't need human intervention to give it context. The company grows and is making $1M/yr. It has now replaced 10 potential jobs in the market.
I feel like that's the worry many folks have. It's a pretty dystopian view of the future but if you can make $1M/yr and not have to pay any employees that money and all you had to do was pay OpenAI about $100/mo, would you not do that?
