It's amazing how briefly and swiftly you've managed to summarize the whole point of AI and its main purpose.

It's become almost a trend to be terrified about AI taking everyone's jobs, but only a few fully realize that it's just a tool you can use for your benefit.

I'm a technical person - a software engineer, and even engineering can't be replaced by AI, you still need to be the main pilot when creating a product.

The same goes for product managers. AI is multiple levels below what PMs actually do, they orchestrate. Some might argue that AI can describe the steps and guidelines required for a project.

Sure, but:

Can AI make other people work together and feel happy about it?
Can AI convince human beings that they're creating something that matters?
Can AI collaborate effectively between stakeholders?
. . .

HARD NO!

We need humans in the loop! For software engineers, there are so many misconceptions around what your job is versus what it isn't. Writing code isn't taking into consideration best practices, security, scalability, what tech debt you are taking on intentionally, architecting, and so much more. Thank you!
