You are talking about mundane coding jobs, not system or software design that would still human intelligence for a long long time. Software jobs are also a fair bit more than just coding.
Why hire 4 SWEs when one+AI is just as productive?
Long term, every job can be replaced with AI. There's literally no job that can't be replaced with AI. Even politicians and Presidents. CEOs as well. Yes, even all manual labor jobs. Even all coding. You can program AI to check the coding of other AI. Then AI to check the coding of the check the coding AIs. Then AI to check the coding of the check the coding of the check the coding AI. Ad infinitum. Buckle up, butter cups. The future will be zero work, and zero money, but the government will provide everything you need and want. Life will be much better than it is today. Instead of working 12 hours a day (including commute) you can actually do what you want and spend time with your family. Kids will be happier. Divorce rates will plummet. The economy will be stable and no more crashes. Is all that really a bad thing?

You can code AI to do software design. You're discounting what AI is. AI will eventually be more intelligent than a human because it will know everything we know, and more. And be able to process everything faster than us. A software development job that might take a human a week will take AI a few minutes.

Eventually, yes most likely it will be able to do these things. Right now? No. Near future? No. Do you know what goes into software and system design? What about the interface/UX design aspect?

If artificial superintelligence arrives in my lifetime, then yeah, things are gonna be wild (or horrific).
AGI alone will be transformative, I agree. I am trying to convince people that LLMs like GPT-4 are intelligent and certainly suggest that AGI is attainable soon. Now, will it be scalable to be compute-efficient and allow far more AIs roaming around inside chips than humans on the earth, etc (i.e. true economic transformation)? Probably, but we can't know yet.

Meh, most stuff just needs to be 'good enough' for a business. I would imagine that most SWEs work for a business where the software just needs to work -- it's not the central to the economic value of the business. AI will drastically cut into those jobs starting, oh, tomorrow.

Why hire 4 SWEs when one+AI is just as productive?
Because software companies aren't constrained by a finite amount of work to do. They would rather keep 4 and do 4x the work, then if that results in more revenue, use it to hire more SWEs.

If that results in more revenue, yes. At most businesses, I suspect, SWE output isn't the limiting condition.

In the foreseeable future, it will only be a tool in the SWE toolbox and would only increase productivity.

Is it true FB uses AI? It seems to only show my posts to the same friends over and over, and my post reach has dropped.
A lot of these things you find so amazing are already happening, and they don't really work.
The public HATES customer service robots. Companies strictly control what even human reps can do, they're not going to trust an AI not to screw up.
A large portion of IDE's used in coding involve AI too. It sets up what you want to write but a human still has to fill in the rest. You also need a lot of detail on exactly what you want your program to do, if you want to set it up right.
AI still can't tell you which three pictures have motorcycles in them.

You don’t appear to know much about computer science.

Yeah, I think young software engineers should talk to some 40 year old lawyers if they want to know what the next decade has in store for their profession.
