There are a lot of code monkeys out there and I might be one of them. That island of job security seems like it will be shrinking.

I don't agree that we are that close to that (or that Copilot is a significant contribution to bringing it closer) but ultimately eliminating mindless jobs is a good thing. The problem only comes from the expectation built into our current society that people need a job in order to be allowed to survive. Or to put it another way, the profit from automating away jobs en masse should be shared with the whole of society, not privatized.
