Sure for factory positions making mass produced welds... But that not what welders mostly do: robots have done those for a long time. A lot of welding is done

Sure for factory positions making mass produced welds... But that not what welders mostly do: robots have done those for a long time. A lot of welding is done in situ, out in the field, and a lot of it is one-off or few off welds that wouldn't make sense to automate even if you could get the robot into position. :)
And ignoring that, it's at least as useful as the brogrammer crowd bombarding journalists with "learn to code" a couple years ago was...

I think this is exactly the same as all these recent reports on AI. Five years ago, that bootcamp trend made many people believe that they could earn six figures after taking six month courses. But that never happened, because there is more to becoming an effective engineer than just taking a few practical lessons. At the end, that was just marketing, but it didn't stop some managers from declaring that these high paying jobs would be soon gone, because of a massive influx of newly minted programmers. The thing about engineers is that we have been automating boring stuff for ages. We will adapt to use AI tools, the same way we use auto-complete in IDEs, that is fine. But AI will not replace engineers any time soon, and the same goes for the crowd who learnt to create websites in three month bootcamps.
