> If it can replace SWEs, then there's no reason why it can't replace say, a lawyer
SWE is unique in that for part of the job it's possible to set up automated verification for correct output - so you can train a model to be better at it. I don't think that exists in law or even most other work.
What is the automated verification of correct output and who defines that?
But before verification, what IS correct output?
I understand SWE process is unique in that there are some automations that verify some inputs and outputs, but this reasoning falls into the same fallacies that we've had before AI era. First one that comes to mind is that 100% code coverage in tests means that software is perfect.
