Not convinced at all. This stuff makes people more productive. This may mean fewer jobs orbit may just mean more output as the lower costs (not wages) make custom software more accessible. I see this as making the Google/stack overflow turn around much shorter.

It will. In particular, people who aren't software developers. Most devs are basically modern scribes working for kings who can't read or write. In order to exert willpower in digital society, you need to be able to code, which is why everyone with money who can't code wants coders to work for them. But that's all going to change the day ideas men can explain their idea to an AI instead, which whips up an app on the fly. When that happens there'll be a lot less demand for coders. It probably wouldn't impact things like software engineering, where it'd be more of a productivity booster, but it'd certainly narrow down the tech workforce by a bit.
