AI boom can be a doom.

Specifically a question to all the t1 tech clg grads (mainly software engineers) earning 1l+ pm out of clg with a lot of scope for growth. Post mba avg salary is 1.5l per month. I can understand ppl desperate for a career change and non tech ppl who are underpaid and don't really have ab option but it baffles me why well paid folks would shell out 30lakhs kr take the burden of loan just to learn how to appear smarter than you actually are instead of investing it for a meagre salary increase that can be achieved by job switches. I'd love to hear any insights about ppl who've already been in the space. Why u did, salary PRE post sector etc

Let’s say If, A big if, AI becomes self sufficient to do the job of a backend developer, like it’s able to write basic crud apps, simple system design stuff it can do and slowly it keeps getting better at debugging and stuff. (It should not need debugging tho) What can I as a backend developer do, to keep myself relevant in the market and always be able to find a new job?

I work at a fintech company.. We have a engineering team of 35 dev which includes around 10 senior devs and the remaining are interns and junior devs.. we got called for a productivity improvement meeting by one of the senior developer and he just denied chatgpt for us.. Okay I’am biased here.. I agree we need to embrace new technologies.. But his point was to use chatgpt promts to write all of our code and it makes no sense.. He demoed chatgpt promts and was like “ see you don’t need to write a single line of code “ When we told we should not solely depend on tools such as copilot or chatgpt as it will not help us as well as the interns and the junior devs.. You code to learn .. you don’t learn to code .. Just by copy pasting code snippets for chatgpt will take them nowhere and I’m pretty sure it will confuse them even more .. What do you guys feel ?

I know this is quite a sensitive topic but I'd rather face the truth. A couple of months ago, I was less worried, but now looking at the pace of development in IDEs and tools to help with software development, coding has been made much much simpler. Do you really think AI will take away jobs?

So, me and my good friend were casually discussing how crazy the job market is and how we are unable to get into a good job, especially when she has over 3YoE and is really good at frontend web development. She then casually asked me "Should we be really trying this hard to get into a job that we like, as I feel that AI will take over a big part of the IT workforce in the next 5 years?" Though we did have a friendly argument, I strongly believe that it still needs more time than that bcz IT jobs, especially we developers, are not just limited to coding. And given the fact that OpenAI is learning off of GitHub repos, which are basically code examples are averagely written code, not well written proficient ones. But, in General, what do you think about AI and how it is gradually dominating the IT sector ?

Nowadays, everyone is saying that AI will replace engineers, and it could be the reason for layoffs. This situation is making me more tense, especially as I'm primarily a frontend engineer (currently learning backend). If this is true, what should I do? Please guide me.
