Gregory's ServerOMG, no.
I'm a software engineer with decades of experience and familiarity with AI. AI is a very long way from taking away tech jobs. AI can't do the work of a software developer, which largely isn't writing code in the first place.
ChatGPT can generate code as a side-effect of having been trained on a lot of code, and sometimes it's useful, but more often than not it's a weird combination of hilarious and terrible.
Solving real-world problems requires sentience.
@AnneTheWriter @fuzzychef The basic AI we have today is definitely going to make profound changes to the way we interact with search engines and other software, and there's definitely an arms race brewing, which will require more skilled engineers to build.
The truth of the tech job cuts is far more boring and straightforward. Large shareholders are demanding cuts so they can take short term profits at the expense of long-term gains.
