I've been seeing a lot of repercussion around Devin recently, and the article you shared definitely helped me to formulate a better opinion about it.

I agree with you, both on the "blending" (I really liked the use of this term in this context) of human and artificial intelligence to improve our creations, aswell as on the fact that we probably don't have the ability to predict the jobs of the future. About your last paragraph, I dare to go even further: if these professionals do become substitutable, we will probably have arrived at a point as a society where value generating and working are a concept so different from what we have nowadays, that we truly cannot even begin to comprehend what it shall be. I also believe that professionals with expertise in specific topics may be substituted by AI models in the objective practical side of things, they will remain relevant in using these models and reviewing their work, even if indirectly. An aspect of this was mentioned in the article, about how prompting may become more and more important as a skill as time passes. It is subtle, but this is a point that really makes me more optimistic about Humanity. Prompt engineering is nothing more than learning and practicing how to communicate more effectively and objectively, in a clear and a lot of the times polite manner. I like to believe that it may be the starting point for humans to go back to investing properly into verbalizing and communicating with each other in a decent and fair way; and maybe that will be part of our salvation as a society.

Thanks one more time for your insights and time, Steve! Not to mention your concrete support on this platform, not only through upvoting, but specially by really reading and interacting with my contributions.
