Will AI replace software engineers?

Considering what we are seeing with AI, it's solving some large-scale problems and also some of the most tedious processes, especially in the content creation space. I believe that AI will solve unique problems going forward at a rapid pace. This, in turn, would have an adverse effect on engineers who would rely more on AI to do these mundane tasks.
What do you all say?

Good possibility for that to happen. Probably more faster than we can anticipate. Innovations are made at such a pace and haste, hopefully the repercussions are well thought.

@satish_kumar_veluri Well said, prudent regulations are need of the hour!
Nope if it can happen who will customize the codes as AI can generate codes with automation but can't perform specific customization
@julie_john What about GPT3 which generate its own code?
@julie_john @chetan_natesh As long as the rules of generating code is clearly defined, we dont want another terminator series
@julie_john The rules of ethics for AI have not been defined and its very hard to justify boundaries
@chetan_natesh yeah GPT3 can generate the code but still it can't replace humans because automation always have human element associated
@julie_john Thanks Julie, is it the same case with Wu Dao?
I think it would be a combination of AI + human intelligence that will running the systems.
@chetan_natesh the human intelligence which is required to run the systems would create a bifurcation in manpower on who has that niche capability. I fear there would be a very significant percentage of people who might not have that expected intelligence.
@satish_kumar_veluri I think educational institutions can handle this burden, I understand your point but I fear that is not the what we must be worried about. I feel regulations have to be passed well before AI becomes mainstream. AI must show tremdous potential for regulations to be eased , otherwise let any tech advancement happen within bounds of tight regulations.
@chetan_natesh You are right, however the very idea of giving so much decision making power to fewer individuals most of the time leads to abuse of power. If we can only find a democratic way of monitoring and advancing of technology there can be a constructive growth.
@satish_kumar_veluri Maybe one way would be to only give this power to people who have proved credentials ethics wise 🤷🏻 along with tech based capability
@chetan_natesh Yes, that would be ideal as we need sort of automation for certain mundane tasks
I think AI may not completely replace Software engineers, it may reduce the need of them.. as it is again defined by set rules it is always in our hands how, where and when to use it...any innovation should be like support system to ease our task and work but not to completely replace.. I feel like every system in place should always have a check point.
AI will be the next big thing which is going to rule for so many decades.
It is true that AI has the potential to automate many tedious and time-consuming tasks, including some aspects of content creation. As AI technology continues to improve, it is likely that we will see more and more tasks being automated, which could potentially have an impact on the job market and the demand for certain types of workers. However, it is also important to note that AI is not a replacement for human creativity and ingenuity. While AI can assist with some tasks, there will always be a need for human input and expertise in many fields, including content creation. Additionally, the development and deployment of AI technology itself requires a significant amount of expertise and skill, so there will continue to be a demand for engineers and other professionals with expertise in this area.
