No something that codes better than you will likely happen long before agi.

Also who said agi will replace humanity? That's speculative. More likely it will replace your job first.

I don’t think so. I think you need agi to beat a human at such open ended creative work as software engineering.

AGI is a singularity. One can’t see beyond it. Whether there is a place for humans or not after that is beyond either of our ability to say.

LLMs already beat and match humans in creating art and deep fakes. It's not that far fetched to see an AI therefore beat humans in other creative endeavors.

It's not a singularity. If you build an AGI identical to a human then predicting the outcome of agi is similar to predicting the outcome of human behavior. This is not division by zero.

Mind you human behavior is unpredictable, but we never describe the outcomes of human behavior as a "singularity". Agi is the same way... It's unpredictable like human behavior but far far away from a "singularity"
