It depends what "simple software engineer" means. You can certainly become a consultant who fixes the garbage that GPT4 produces.
The kind of software engineer who just churns existing code for no reason might be replaced. Or exposed. Or perhaps he'll use GPT4 to produce even more churn and get promoted.
Who knows. This industry has horrible practices and rewards some of the worst people.
