Why Do People Believe AI Will Replace Security Engineers?

The author of the post notes that many articles and discussions suggest AI could replace cybersecurity engineers, as well as other fields like infrastructure (infra) and software development (coding). They express their confusion, arguing that security relies more on specific decisions and context rather than simple automated analysis or detection. According to them, designing a secure system requires highly customized adaptations, unlike generic best practices. They question whether this belief stems from a misunderstanding of AI's current capabilities or the very nature of cybersecurity.
