>No one should be planning on being a software engineer in about 3-5 years, all need to plan for alternative income sources or early retirement. I think, at least.

Interesting. I recall Geoffrey Hinton saying something similar about Radiologists.

“People should stop training radiologists now” "it is just completely obvious that within 5 years deep learning will do better than radiologists”

Greentext is eh. Very formulaic, in fact very similar to the bottomless pit one, which I'd argue is better because of it's absurdity. I have to ask, did you mention the older GPT version to fable in the prompt?

balefulboy··on Ask HN: Why won't you be replaced by AI?
