  our profession is under threat.
It is. But I don't think it's AI that threatens it. It's susceptible to hype people who, unfortunately, have the power over people's jobs. C-level management who don't know anything better than parroting what others in the industry are saying. How is that "all engineers will be replaced in 6 months" going?

We've seen something similar in the past decades: outsourcing. And it worked completely differently how it was envisioned a few decades ago, at least in the field of software development. So let's wait what happens. Some kind of backlash has been already started in the past months.

Don't forget the threat from incompetent developers who have been working by copy pasting things from stackoverflow without understanding what they are doing since several years.
