This is a good, nuanced, article on the impact of AI on software jobs. It’s a tool, not a replacement for expertise.

I love the above comparison, because a word processor doesn’t remove the need for the author to know what and how to write. Copilot etc also do not remove the need for the developer to know what a good solution in code looks like.
