Electrical engineering the field for future

So as you all know AI is taking every possible coding job under the sun, even though most of it is slop, the companies do not care, they would just lay everyone off, even if the goy slop code is shitty, as long as it makes them profit. Recently, I saw people would that would have their own mini data centers and GPUs and local models, so they do not need a remote database to run the models. If this materializes would electrical engineering be the most lucrative field of the…

Most of the coding boom of the 2010s was for webdev, the lowest IQ coding specialty, which is why AI can do webdev jobs somewhat serviceably. I do geometry processing and AI is very limited in its ability to complete tasks I need it to let alone finish entire products. When GPT sol came out I tried to get it to write a function that constructs an anisotropic scaling matrix given arrays of mesh vertices and edges. I gave it an exhaustive description of exactly how the function should work but it simply couldnt do it. That's just one part of a more complicated project I was working on. It doesnt seem that AI will soon replace anyone writing more logically/mathematically sophisticated programs. It will mostly replace Indians using React, or maybe indie game devs using scripting languages to write very simple (yet still buggy) indie slop. I use AI mainly to write faster, remind me of syntax, find simple bugs, or do research (google replacement). Its output requires lots of babysitting by someone who knows their shit to ensure functionality.

Maybe for the 110 to 120 IQ people the field of programming is dead. I am curious though, I have noticed that AI struggles with Math, but then why are these mathematicians panicking about AI replacing them. Their jobs would be the last to be automated. Or it's all just a PR stunt.

Seems to largely be a PR stunt tbh. Open AI was releasing "results" that literally no one looked at or verified, many hundreds at once. Basically this was to get a headline "Open AI released hundreds of math papers!" and by the time anyone has comprehensively reviewed the slop headlines have already moved on. And apparently their Navier-Stokes result was mostly stolen.
