Comment on Ask HN: What career will you switch to when AI replaces developers?

Comments

AI is going to impact far more than just developers and likely cause unemployment rates in the 30-40% range which is much higher than even the Great Depression, so I'm thinking that becoming some sort of a criminal is likely.

I don't think so. Programmers profession is uniquely suited to be replaced by LLMS due to the short verificaion cycle of their artifacts and a vast corpus of freely available training data.

I would much prefer if the job being replaced by the ai was the one trying to force ai on us (management)

Yeah, I'm watching a lot of Charlie Chaplin movies in preparation for my new role as a tramp.
