The article discusses the significant decline in computer-programming employment in the U.S., which has reached its lowest level since 1980, coinciding with the rise of AI technologies like OpenAI's ChatGPT. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that while computer-programming jobs peaked during the dot-com boom, they have now decreased to about half of their previous numbers, with a projected 10% decline in opportunities from 2023 to 2033. The article highlights differing perspectives on the impact of AI on programming jobs, with some experts suggesting that AI could replace certain coding tasks, while others, including IBM's CEO, argue that human programmers will still be needed for more complex tasks.
