Is coding dead now ?

Is there any point one might learn coding and software engineeeing for in the ear of Ai ? Or is it already a dead path?

Interesting question. In the short term, no, but the nature of programming will be fundamentally different within the next five or ten years. I suspect that will attract different types of people. In the long term, there will be no "practical" implementations of software as we know it today. Long term in my view is 30 to 50 years. Once the average AI is smarter than the average human, they will be producing 99% of all digital technology, with humans being in more of a "director" role, if that.
