And there it is. None of us will be fired or laid off "because AI". The next person simply won't be hired. And then one day, that next person will be you or I.
Really this is a direct, perfect analogy to the industrial revolution. One small person operating a steam shovel could all of the sudden do the work (faster, with higher quality) that for all of human history required hundreds of strong men to do, and it changed the entire world practically overnight.
Businesses simply do not need the mass droves of SWEs who exist to type out CRUD code anymore. We will go the same way of the manufacturing workers of the 20th century, where the small percentage of those who could deeply specialize and adapt and master the processes were ok, but the vast majority never recovered, and ended up in minimum wage misery.

They absolutely can not do it faster with higher quality. > Businesses simply do not need the mass droves of SWEs who exist to type out CRUD code anymore. That's true, but not because of generative AI.
