There are people who are getting “pretty rich” by trafficking humans, or selling drugs. Would you want to live in a society where such activities are encouraged? In the end, we need to look at technological progress (or any progress for that matter) as where it will bring us to in the future, rather than what it allows you to do now.
It also pisses me off that software engineering has such a bad reputation that everyone, from common folks to the CEO of nvidia, is shitting on it. You don’t hear phrases like “AI is going to change medicine/structural engineering”, because you would shit your pants if you had to sit in a dentist chair, while the dentist would ask ChatGPT how to perform a root canal; or if you had to live in a house designed by a structural engineer whose buddy was Claude. And yet, somehow, everyone is ready to throw software engineers under the bus and label them as "useless"/easily replaceable by AI.
But we're getting paid right? And the Prime van will keep delivering.
