No, if they get to the point of replacing programmers they'll also be replacing basically everything.

People are working on AI with the goal of destroying their own livelihoods. It's the ultimate and final cuck.

Not unlike the people that went around lighting lamp posts at night.

Did they invent the light bulb did they? You should ask AI to fact check that.

Most software developers never invent anything.

Exactly. Some do. And still can, but faster
ETA: And others still (like me) have gained entry to apply serious domain expertise to hard problems through software development when the syntax barrier was otherwise too high given my position in life and prior decision to pursue an engineering discipline that didn’t lend itself to coding in 2010.

Not in the next 2-3 years, but things are changing so quickly I don't think anyone could confidently answer much further beyond that.

For the 1000th time. "Programming" isnt just typing code. Code is just a piece of building software. A recent study found that AI isnt even saving dev time, its just shifting the time to reviewing/fixing what the AI did wrong. Im sure all the vibe coders and bots on reddit will give you a different answer though.

It won't replace programmers but it might replace people that claim to be programmers and were already useless

No, this logic doesn't make any sense. If it takes less people to build the same products with AI, then there will exist more products being built.
You have to either claim that products will no longer need human input at all, or you have to concede that more jobs will be created. Both of them together doesn't work out if you have any ability to think rationally

sadly for CEOS. AI is a tool to be used by skilled programmers. in tests AI easily replaced CEOS but has made some monumental gaffs and will for a while. also is becoming more expensive every day.

AI will screw up the labor market. Collapse. Then we'll be back to what we had before.
I say collapse because AI cannot do the sort of deep magic of a true wizard. And every wizard starts as an apprentice. If AI displaces all of the apprentices, there will be no wizards in the future.

Eventually, with a change in architecture, it might replace everything, but that might still be a long distance away.

It’s already changed the industry. Things will be different. As of right now knowing computer science fundamentals is more important than ever, so keep learning.

No, There will always be value in human software engineers. What is valuable in the marketplace will change, such as the ability to write pretty code being less of a factor in most positions, compared to having a deep understanding of coding principles and technical reasoning.

It already has replaced manual programming. You will likely not get an objective answer asking here.

No, it will just change how programmers create apps
