The fun part about being a strong believer of AI and actually understanding its capacities is being able to tell when people are completely blinded by hype.
AI will not make writers “obsolete”, that is utterly absurd. Would you say reality TV made tv writers obsolete? No? Oh well.
You get what you pay for. That includes what you pay for as a producer…

Of course. And those so-called "computers" won't make human calculators obsolete. After all, they are as large as an entire room, and by the time they are ready to receive input, a human with his slide rule has already computed three and a half entire logarithms!
Human creative professions have 5-10 years left, if they are very lucky.

So in that sense do developers have ~2 years left? Code is much more rigid than acting or creative writing and AI seems to be getting there first. I mean if the all-powerful AI can make modern movies than clearly it can handle writing all code right?
Because they are about to become obsolete, and they believe that screaming as loudly as they can is going to stop that.
Their chances of success are roughly the same as if they were protesting against the law of gravity.
