# Sorry Devin You Can't Replace our Jobs

**[DEV](https://daily.dev/sources/devto)** · 3 min read · 216 upvotes · 29 comments

## Summary

Despite the hype surrounding AI in software engineering, human engineers still bring important skills to the table and play a vital role in reviewing and refining AI-generated code. AI tools like Devin may be experts in simple tasks, but struggle with complexity and the actual problem at hand. While AI can boost productivity, it cannot replace human creativity, strategic thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and understanding of complex systems.

> If anyone has looked into Devin and its company it feels absolutely sketchy. Their website is a mess and most of the things they said Devin could do it can't. I would not trust Devin with my life and now they want me to grant access to my repositories? No, thanks.

> Anti Devin seasoned software engineer 😂really got me cracked up.
> Anyways, love the article, don't think AI can 100% replace jobs, it's meant to compliment careers not replace them.

> You are write. Devin can not replace software engineers

> honestly, these AI hypes aren't worth the hype at all, especially when they're talking about replacing devs' jobs. Our job role can't be fully automated and trusted to these bots. Software development is more than just writing code. Moreover, the issue of internal and private data being shared with a 3rd party is a no go zone for many companies.

> AI will not steal our jobs. So far it adds more jobs, and the amount of work.
> It will raise the barrier to entry though for Junior Developers. In the long term, we even might have a shortage of experienced developers due to that.
> It is even worse. You still need humans to train the AI. It cannot be self-taught. Because AI  <- language model <- statistic model is never 100% accurate. And if it will teach itself the accuracy will decline.
