The same argument could be made for actual engineers working on steam engines, nuclear power, or semiconductors.

Make of that what you will.

More like engineers coming up with higher level programming languages. No one (well, nearly) hand writes assembly anymore. But there's still plenty of jobs. Just the majority write in the higher level but still expressive languages.

For some reason everyone thinks as LLMs get better it means programmers go away. The programming language, and amount you can build per day, are changing. That's pretty much it.

I’m not worried about software engineering (only or directly).

Artists, writers, actors, teachers. Plus the rest where I’m not remotely creative enough to imagine will be affected. Hundreds of thousands if not millions flooding the smaller and smaller markets left untouched.

		Artists: photography. Yet we still value art in pre photography mediums Writers: film, tv. Yet we all still read books Play actors: again, film and tv. Yet we still go to plays, musicals etc Teachers: the internet, software, video etc. Yet teachers are still essential (though they need to be paid more) Jobs won't go away, they will change.

I’m not sure I see how: none of those technologies had the stated goal of replacing their creators.
