Yes, it's like when people were saying blacksmiths would continue to exist. They do albeit at very reduced numbers. In their place we have mechanics. It will be the same in other industries.

  mechanics, welders, CNC operators, CAD operators, industrial designers, materials engineers, metallurgists... really it was an explosion of roles once the technology was there.

    This is the positive take I hope to see with AI. Because yes, blacksmiths no longer exist, but all the professions you named above have their roots in smithing.

On the other hand, a lot of jobs that were supposed to go away exist still, people just get paid less and no one really cares about them because they're not promising to eradicate hunger in Africa, which is also a job that shouldn't exist but still does mind you. So laugh all you like.

  Prompt OS: prompts so huge and chained in convoluted contexts, accreted over a generation of ChatGPTs, backwards-compatible to other models, the text file is megabytes in size. ChatGPT gets an import statement. Prompt Engineers will have to maintain that. It will be written in a nightmare of English, without comments, and heaven help what it means for the tool to "break production." The reference manual contains a chapter on Forbidden Phrases, but it's marked up on paper, scrawled and crossed out by various predecessors. Initialization is invoking special phrases, runtime feature flags, to disable whatever behaviors were previously tagged. Yep: we humans will need to tag behaviors of the AI to describe what is happening, without the benefit of breakpoints. Where are the breakpoints, anyway? What's our `gdb` of ChatGPT, I wonder.
