I've always said as a software developer that our longterm job is to program ourselves out of a job. In fact, in the long term EVERYBODY is "cooked" as automation becomes more and more capable. The eventual outcome will be that nobody will have to work. AI in its present state isn't ready at all to replace programmers, but it can be a very helpful assistant.

Management can't blame AI when shit hits the fan, though. We'll be fine. Either that or everything just collapses back into dust, which doesn't sound so bad in the current times.

That's the beauty of AI tho - AI shit rolls uphill, until it hits the manager who imposed the decision to use it (or their manager, or even their manager).
