Some developers have engineered artificial intelligence tools which can now write, and understand code. These tools are improving at doing things that needed a human who can code.

The concern has emerged that some programming jobs may no longer be or will be completely different. It's interesting because the developers were the ones that actually built the systems, which are now replacing/encroaching on their work.

This is an uncomfortable position for many developers. Initially working on AI tools may have produced a sense of pride and commitment to improving productivity along with reducing errors and so forth. It is hard not to recognize the irony when the tools they created, and were employed to develop are now being replaced by the same tools. Some are adapting by learning how to work with the systems or trying to retrain for human oriented thinking tasks, and others just do not know what to do.

AI can now write and find bugs, it can explain functions and even provide alternative solutions to arguments, or task.

It does still require some dumb user direction in many cases, but the gap is smaller and smaller. The question many developers are asking their selves is what's my role going to be.
