Before, there were programmers and software engineers. I have seen in many places how companies used to hire people just to implement features, with no other work to do than that. If you were a programmer, you just wrote the code. Those are now in quite a bad position.

Instead, software engineers have used tools to solve problems while taking into account constraints like money, time, capacity, and uncertainty, utilizing all available resources. Now, AI is simply another tool to obtain the end result and solve the problem. The way we do things has changed, and we need to adapt. However, I think software engineers will always be necessary.
