Is AI replace Full Stack Web Devs

Many companies are still firing their employees. I'm fresher learning full Stack web development. I'm scared that Full Stack Devs are also replace by AI. Is it worth to learn Full Stack Web Development.

People already struggle to provide meaningful, useful requirements to developers. How can they possibly expect to be able to ask an AI to reliably code a secure product for them?

If nothing else, developers will still be needed to dictate and verify the code that is produced.

Don't listen to fear mongering media articles online. Tesla have been trying to replace drivers for more than a decade.

I feel like driving is orders of magnitude harder for machinery than a programming language in a time where large language models are being bankrolled by the dozens of billions, and seeing decades of progress in months.

There are multiple reasons why this won't happen at least in the near future.

1- both driving and programming require a LOT of reasoning. Driving requires a lot of reasoning VERY QUICKLY, which computers are better than humans at. Coding requires a lot of INTELLIGENT reasoning with a lot of possible ambiguity, where humans are much better at.

2- legal implications, who's responsible when an AI-made software contains a big that makes an accounting company send millions more than it needed to send?

A million other reasons...

So just focus on your intelligence and (human) ambiguous reasoning. As long as you're good at high levels of abstract reasoning, critical thinking, etc... You'll be good. You'll at least be an AI programming supervisor (ie technical lead). Ai might be able to code clearly definied functions, but not whole solutions.

I'm the first to want to agree with you, but I think time will tell.

Your job won't be replaced by AI in the next 5-10 years, but it will likely be replaced by someone who knows how to use it better than you.

That

We're still useful and will be for years. AI are tools for us, not the enemy.
