Sorry, can you clarify more? I don't think I understand. The part you enjoy the most is the integrating of systems, right? If that's really your passion, I'm not sure you're in danger of losing your job to AI. AI is not great at nuance and this is exponentially more challenging than what we've done so far. I'm just assuming that since this is your passion (if I'm understanding correctly) that you see it as the puzzle it is and the complexities and uniqueness of each integration. If you're the type of person that's frustrated by low quality or quick shortcuts and not understanding the nuances actually involved, I think you're safe.

I don't see AI pushing out deep thinkers and the "annoying" nuance devs anytime soon. I'm that kinda person too and yeah, I'm not as fast as my colleagues. But another friend (who is similar) and I both are surprised how often other people in our lab and groups we work with (we're researchers) talk about how essential GPT and copilot are to their workflows. Because neither of us think this way. I use GPT(4) almost every day, but it's impossible for me to get it to write good quality code. It's great at giving me routines and skeletons, but the real engineering part takes far more time to talk the LLM into than it does to write it (including all the time to google or even collaborate with GPT[0]). LLMs can do tough things, but their abilities are clearly directly proportional to the frequency of the appearance of those tasks. So I think it is the coding bootcamp people that are in the most danger.

There are expert people that are also at risk though. These are the extremely narrow expertise people. Because you can target LLMs for specific tasks. But if your skills are the skills that define us as humans, I wouldn't lose too much sleep. I say this as a ML researcher myself. And I highly encourage everyone to get into the mindset of thinking with nuance. It has other benefits too. But I also think we need to think about how to transition into a post scarce world, because that is the goal and we don't need AGI for that.

[0] A common workflow for me is actually due to the shittiness of Google. Where it overfits certain words and ignores the advanced things like quotes or NOTs. Or similarly broaching into a new high level topic. I can't trust GPT's answer, but it will sure use keywords and vernacular I don't know that enable me to make a more powerful search. (But google employees should not take away that they should push LLMs into google search but rather that search is mostly good but that same nuance is important and being too forceful and repeating 5 pages of essentially the same garbage is not working. The SEO people attacked you and they won. It looks like you let them win too...)
