The optimistic aspect is that true programmers won't lose their jobs; AI is merely restructuring programming systems engineering. Experienced programming systems engineers who master AI programming are like programming architects leading a team of intelligent agents—more capable than 1000 mediocre programmers.

The tragic aspect is that blue-collar worker unemployment means their jobs are completely replaced. They will need to switch to other industries and start from scratch. This is the most worrying outcome.
