The fact that AI currently requires some human supervision to produce valuable results is not a good predictor that it will stay this way sadly. LLMs were basically unable to reason two years ago. They are now better at many reasoning tasks than most people. If there is even a remote chance that LLMs will make your job obsolete I would pivot as fast as I could. This includes first and foremost software engineering.

I agree with you. A lot of "AI code is not clean" is hopeful thinking. In two years it might be able to design and architect better than most humans too.

The people you see in the TV are not actually in the TV box. It looks real until you try to shake one’s hand. It’s kind of the same thing with AI (reasoning and whatnot).
