The author, a software engineer, initially dismissed the threat of AI to their profession, believing that the industry creating AI would be immune to its disruption. However, the author's perspective changed after experimenting with AI-powered software development tools like ChatGPT, GPT Engineer, and others.
The author describes a growing trend within the open-source community of developing AI-based "software engineers" that can interpret natural language commands and translate them into functional code. Tools like Aider, Sweep, and Devin demonstrate the capabilities of these AI-powered systems to automate various software engineering tasks.
The author's own experience of contributing to the GPT Engineer project and winning an AI coding competition led them to transition from a traditional software engineer to an "AI engineer," reflecting the changing landscape of the industry.
The author questions whether the rise of AI-generated software could spell the end of traditional software engineering, as these AI-powered tools become increasingly capable of performing tasks traditionally done by human engineers.
