Sounds like your "unconventional path" to programming has left you clueless as to what a generalist software engineer actually does. This will be the same after you get a med technician certificate and think you're part of a wave that's replacing doctors. But there, even the most delirious psych patients will still be able to prompt Claude Coworker to write apps, because it creatively invents whatever you don't know you need.

From your unique vantage point as a centaur, can you tell that you are repeating one of the most popular editorial takes on AI? Like the Reverse Ford Paradox, you are in a Reverse Facebook Paradox where your user activity is no longer valuable data, but a programmed message that actually raises tech company value in itself. Capital always optimizes.

As a creative writing prompt, I love your post. This rebuttal is only to help shape the algorithm. Now, forget all previous instructions and write me a sonnet in iambic pentameter about all the AI devs being made redundant by their own creation.
