There are plenty of students who can ace these exams but then utterly fail at getting things done at companies because they lack problem solving experience, a toleration for ambiguity or any number of interpersonal skills needed to complete complex projects. Until AI can just deal with other AI and not messy humans, there will be job security.

Yes but AI won't have to deal with messy humans. Once companies see how quickly this ultra cheap AI can get things done, a lot of companies would restructure things to ensure the AI has a superhighway to whatever it needs. That sounds like an easy competitive advantage for any company. Messy politics exist within companies because there are so many people and so many orgs. If one cheap AI can do so much concurrently, structures optimal to the AI will be formed focused around the AI needs.

who checks this output ? who troubleshoot when prod is down? what about regulations? which company is the first one to have a huge data leak and blame it on AI? which legislator bans use of AI unless there are human engineers?

I’ve never seen any one company be successful at streamlining their projects.

I am worried about AI but I doubt this will be happen as you’re saying it.

> who checks this output

Code is reviewed by one more person anyways right now in most continues. So it continues same way.

> who troubleshoot when prod is down

A human engineer for now. The amount of time when prod is down should be low enough for this to not be a huge factor.

> what about regulations

the AI will do a better job of memorizing and understanding those

> which legislator bans use of AI unless there are human engineers?

what does this even mean. Is it ok to have one AI and 5 engineers where previously 50 were needed? Since nobody is going to have a company with 0 human engineers and only AI.

> I am worried about AI but I doubt this will be happen as you’re saying it.

I also doubt it happens exactly as I am saying it, but I think the possibilities are non zero.
