Sure, and now entire teams are being replaced by ChatGPT. My advice to American and Indian students: don’t bother studying computer science or getting into software engineering.

Odd advice. You could do far worse in terms of degrees...

No, don’t bother. Go into medicine or mechanics or something similarly high paying but without threat of outsourcing or AI replacement.

So we should only tell people in India to learn software engineering? Like how we moved all our factories to China? I'm sure this will all go super well.

Nobody replaces whole teams with ChatGPT because ChatGPT doesn't exactly work alone. They at best replace larger teams with smaller teams with better tools. More realistically the same size teams can now accomplish more. If I can date myself the person gluing chatGPT code, their own code, and the company codebase will be Dilbert not the pointy haired boss.
