I still have to tell it what to do, and often how to do it. I manage its external memory and guidelines, and review implementation plans. I’m still heavily involved in software design and test coverage.
AI is not capable yet of automating my job completely – I anticipate this will happen within two years, maybe even this year (I’m an ML researcher).
Do you mean, from your perspective, within 2 years humans won’t be able to bring anything of value to the equation in management and control ?
No, I mean that my job in its current form – as an ML researcher with a phd and 15 years of experience - will be completely automated within two years.
Is the progress of LLMs moving up abstraction layers inevitable as they gather more data from each layer? First, we fed LLMs raw text and code and now they are gathering our interactions with the LLM regarding generated code. It seems like you could then use the interactions to make a LLM that is good at prompting and fixing another LLMs generated code. Then its on to the next abstraction layer.

If you want a machine (or in fact another human) to do something for you, there are two tasks you cannot delegate to them:
a) Specify what you want them to do.
b) Check if the result meets your expectations.
Does your current job include neither a nor b?
