Code is the killer app for LLMs so software developers are the easiest to replace.

Code isn’t what the majority of software engineering is.
Pointless nitpicking that completely missed my point. Software developers are not the hardest to replace, so your presumption that everything else should be easier is wrong.

Next time, try being polite, it’ll make me way more inclined to engage with you.
If I missed your point it was unintentional. Instead of being rude, try gentle clarification.
But now I’ve lost interest. Have a good day!
No problem. No interest in engaging in the flamewar you tried to start for no reason.

So then nobody actually has ever said that and its explicitly hyperbole
So then its misleading in the extreme to say “I’ve been told AI can do anything”
It amplifies hype when people make claims like this by including hyperbolic statements as though they are reflective of the state of the discussion.
Dario Amodei said in January that he expected software engineers to be replaced [0], so I suppose the quote should be extended to “can do anything… a software engineer can do”
And I think we can all agree that SWE is on the more complex end of all white collar jobs. So, my thinking is that if SWE can hypothetically be replaced, so can many other jobs. Hence, the claim the models can “do anything” intending to capture the majority of white collar work.
This, of course, is if you take their claim at face value - which I certainly do not.
