"AI's ability to automate code is simultaneously making developers productive and overworked. One technologist said his job is harder than ever, lamenting that "AI fatigue" is real. The good news is it won't last forever. The bad news is that's because most of them will be out of a job. Software veteran Steve Yegge predicts that AI will eventually lead Big Tech companies to cut 50% of their engineers."
"Matt Shumer, the CEO of an AI startup, warned AI's disruption will be "much bigger" than COVID. The post has racked up more than 69 million views on X, gaining traction outside traditional tech circles. Shumer spoke to BI's Brent D. Griffiths about the post and the fact that he (surprise!) used AI to help him write it. It's worth noting Shumer's company specializes in AI personal assistants."
AI's ability to automate code is making developers both more productive and chronically overworked, producing real 'AI fatigue.' Predictions from industry veterans foresee large-scale job cuts, with one veteran estimating Big Tech could shed about half of its engineering workforce. Startup leaders warn that AI disruption could exceed the economic and social effects of COVID and are openly using AI to craft messaging. Companies that build AI personal assistants stand to benefit as workers gravitate toward automation. Software engineering jobs are highly digital and skill-based, making them especially vulnerable to automation. Workers in many sectors will need to rapidly adapt to shifting labor demands.
