Codie Sanchez argues AI won't replace most software engineers, but consulting and report-writing jobs are vulnerable. Tools like OpenAI's O1 and O3 can ingest business context and generate slide decks and one-page recommendations. Human nuance still matters for quality work.
What jobs are the very first ones AI is going to take. For a while I thought it was software engineering in the way it is today. I think is not going to be a thing because you already have things like Lovable and these other companies where you can generate a website or app just in like a few seconds. I think the important thing will be nuance and taste. You have to have that kind of knowledge to make it beyond just the AI slop of build a website that can tell people their finances. Right. Consulting 100%. All of those big consulting firms, I don't know how they are thinking about things internally, but doing research and creating a report and creating a power PowerPoint deck is almost like the easiest thing you can do with AI, especially with OpenAI's newest model 01 and then O3 where it is so good and you can just like pass in everything about your business and the problem you're trying to solve and it will give you like a pretty good one pager on like what you need to do to solve that.
