The question is, why wouldn't nearly all other white collar jobs be professions of the past as well? Does the average MBA or whatever possess some unique knowledge that you couldn't generate with an LLM fed with company data? What is the alternative career path?

I think software engineers who also understand business may yet have an advantage over pure business people, who don't understand technology. They should be able to tell AI what to do, and evaluate the outcome. Of course "coders" who simply produce code from pre-defined requirements will probably not have a good career.

They will be of the past.

This is typical of automation. First, there are numerous workers, then they are reduced to supervisors, then they are gone.

The future of business will be managing AI, so I agree with what you're saying. However most software engineers have a very strong low level understanding of programming. Not a business sense of application
