Chapter 4 does a good job of illustrating the limitations of an AI assistant in making problem solving changes to a complex engineering control algorithm. The digital assistant required Cam to formulate the key question of how particular lines of his own navigation algorithm interfaced with Bert's simulation platform. Only then did the AI assistant have the required input to arrive at its own problem solving detection of critical lines of code that lay at the intersection of his algorithm with Bert's. Without that question being asked the AI assistant wouldn't have arrived at the ultimate solution that Cam by himself either lacked the ability to find or didn’t want to spend the amount of time needed to find that solution. So the answer to the question of whether AI will take all software development jobs is that it's "not likely in the foreseeable future if ever". I liked how Midjourney illustrated the 10 foot long cylindrical sewer serpent machine that lay beneath the white collar workers who toiled with great difficulty to control properly from above.

That's at least in the immediate future. I think it will be coding better complete systems than humans soon
