With the recent popularity of ChatGPT and AI in general, I think it is important to keep in mind how it will impact the future of software engineering and web design. ChatGPT could generate working code when given a prompt in many different languages which is astonishing. AI in general is more capable than a human in terms of speed, accuracy, and consistency like the article said. However, I highly doubt it will completely automate away software engineering jobs agree with the points made by the article.
Even the best AI will never be able to fully know what you want or what your users want—there are just too many variables involved. -Irving Gil
I think rather AI will instead enhance or streamline the work done by software engineers. AI will definitely be able to create a whole application in the future but there will be a need to talor or customize that application even further. AI will serve to produce the prototype or foundations of an application which will emphasize the need to plan, maintain, and update. Overall, I think in the future software engineers will have to improve upon and customize existing sites rather than build sites from scratch. In fact, most software engineering work are contributions to a working code base already so there might not even be much of a difference at all.
