You are assuming too much about what I think of myself. I am a software engineer and have been so for a long time. And I've written my fair share of UIs and apps. If all the things we do are so varied and creative, then we shouldn need to worry about AI replacing our jobs. But that is not what I am reading in this post. What software engineering jobs will AI replace then? In fact, what I wrote suggests that specialization is a way to make software engineering save itself from the AI threat by making the task of the software engineer more irreplaceable. No matter what you think about its complexities, making web sites is not it.

> If all the things we do are so varied and creative, then we shouldn need to worry about AI replacing our jobs. Your argument is built on this flawed premise. ChatGPT can generate poetry and stories. Does that mean writing poetry and stories is neither varied or creative? The fact that AI can do something doesn't diminish its value when it comes from the hands of a human. Machines in factories can make all sorts of household decorative goods too, but there's a reason people still buy hand-made things.
