Out of all occupations software engineers shouldn't complain that others are getting rich putting people out of jobs by automating work.
replyTaken to it's limit I believe in the future the only things humans will do is provide human to human value - Basically touch, and relationships.
replyTouch encapsulates sex, love, massages, and other non-sexual touch that we have varying desires for.
Relationships encapsulates power, control, and politics along side love, humor, relating emotion, herd feelings, not feeling alone.
Machines will provide proxies for these things, but as far as they can be detected the human to human version will remain "superior" or more desirable.
Maybe far future generations will decide that the human version is suboptimal and they'd rather hug, have sex with, or talk to a robot.
Not everyone of us takes projects without morals.
replyAlso in many countries it is a plain office worker job without the Silicon Valley wonders.
Software engineers have been making people jobless since the first day they started writing software, without a hint of remorse. Why is this any different?
replycause the ones fired could become software developers, what are the ones fired because of AI gonna be other than homeless?
replyPick berries where robots are bad at.
replyyou believe that switchboard operators could become software developers whereas software developers won't be able to go into one of the many other careers not taken over by AI?
replySome yes, not everyone, some of us had morals.
