Anthropic engineers are warning that rapid advances in AI are reshaping their jobs so quickly that many feel they are helping design tools that could soon replace them. A recent internal study found that AI systems are already taking on a noticeable share of routine engineering work, boosting productivity while raising fears that essential skills will fade and long term job security will shrink. Some engineers described feeling like they come to work to automate themselves, while others see short term benefits in shifting toward oversight and higher level tasks. Company leadership has also suggested that AI could significantly reduce many entry level white collar roles in the coming years, adding to the sense of uncertainty about how human careers will evolve.
