Prediction AI, the economy and work

AI replacement of coders may occur even earlier than 18 to 24 months.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Prediction: Statements about events outside the person's control, checked once they fell due: did they come true?

Reasoning

Vague 'may occur even earlier' hedged prediction that is not falsifiable.
