What are devs displaced by AI going to do in the future? Is there an actual plan? (lemmy.world)

Let's assume that in 10 years, AI has advanced absurdly, insanely fast, and is now capable of doing everything a Senior SWE can do. It can program in 15 different languages, 95% accuracy with almost no mistakes, can create entire applications in minutes, and no more engineers or SWEs are needed.... What will all the devs do? Do they just become homeless? Transition to medical field, nursing? Become tradespeople like plumbers, HVAC?

The same thing that devs displaced by all the CMSs are doing - their jobs, just with another tool in their toolkit.

On a related note, what happens when the number of different CMS's exceeds the number of devs? And why is it that every intermediate-level dev seems to write another shitty CMS rather than learning to use a good one?
