Shengyu Liu warns AI could turn programming into a hobby, not a profession

Former DeepSeek kernel engineer Shengyu Liu argues that AI industrializing software production could reduce programming to a recreational craft and erode students' engineering skills.

His central concern is less whether AI can outthink humans than whether access to it stays widespread or gets concentrated in a few corporations. The post, cited by X.PIN, contrasts this with Western warnings about AI escaping human control.
