You don't have to look far. I am NOT saying that AI is actually 100% capable of replacing us, but I am saying that many CEOs are already treating it that way.

In the age of AI, no human job is a profit center any more. EVERY job is a cost center and it's the duty of CEOs to reduce those expenses.

That is more of a confirmation of what everyone knows, many CEOs have no clue what SWE is.

It will take some time but it will die, just as visual programming, total quality management etc...

Anyone who thinks that code generation is the primary issue has no real understanding of the core problems.

The companies that take such a zero-sum outlook will be devoured in the long run.

I think that companies that view AI as empowering workers to produce more, will blow past the ones dominated by bean counters and MBAs looking to optimize their quarterly earnings reports.

If you're saying that a bunch of CEOs are jumping on the newest bandwagon in an attempt to get a free lunch (revenue coming in without all those bothersome paychecks going out), then yes, I would agree. Check this space in two years though.
