@stefanoStefano Marinelli I wrote software for 35 years... lots and lots of stuff. I disliked "plumbing" data to move it from disc to network to app, changing formats, etc. I wouldn't worry too much about AI doing that because its just tedious and deterministic.

But, I would be surprised if AI can create a novel, working solution to new problems that it wasn't trained on. I think of writing code as a translation process from a mind with an unambiguous idea into a language that can be understood by a computer. It really doesn't matter how good a system or person is at translation if they don't know what they are trying to say.

So, I'm skeptical that AI can create new systems well, or at all. But, it can displace many people whose software jobs were little more than data plumbing . I think those jobs are going away, because engineers cost a lot of money to employ. They are a prime target for cost reduction. Rote coding is dying quickly, I think.
