The first link states literally

"AI will take over almost all the work of software engineers (SWEs) end - to - end in just 6 - 12 months!"

What you describe is >50% of the job of SWEs, even when they write all code by hand.

Are you saying that "for many start-ups", this isn't done by SWE's but by some other career type or are you implying that it's just the code written (and first review) is replaced by AI?

I have watched Dario’s interview at WEF referred to in the article and I am quite certain Dario didn’t say that. He talked about AI automating most coding already or soon, not software engineering as a whole.

He did say a few months later in an interview in India that AI will eventually take over most of SWE tasks.

My statement on startups is largely about automating coding by SWEs. My startup also uses AI to automate part of technical specifications and code review but I am not sure how widespread that is.
