Nothing but doom and gloom. While I do think AI will change our field as we know it, I doubt it will destroy it completely.

As good as AI gets there are still things it cannot do. It will still create bugs, at least semantically if not syntactically. AI doesn't "think" at least not yet, and if we're lucky it never will. It won't understand the nuances of your chosen industry or market you're operating in and thus will always fall short. Sure, it can tell you how things work in theory but it will never be able to tap into what humans are actually thinking. How they feel about a product, etc.

That's not to say its useless. It is and will be a great tool for generating tons of boilerplate, solving some purely logical problems, getting ideas up and running faster than ever. But I highly doubt AI will ever straight up replace us, just change the game up.
