I like to think of AI like an advanced fighter jet. Jets these days basically fly themselves via their onboard computer. The human is just another input to the jet's computer. But the human makes the important decisions and steers the jet.

The jet does other heavy lifting stuff such as ensuring that the flight is stable, auto-pilots and engages lock on for enemy targets. When the pilot hears that there is a lock on they can choose to press one button and fire the missile.

In other words, AI is a tool. It can simplify a lot of the more stressful or repetitive aspects of software development but is not smart enough to make good decisions or to understand context.

Even if you were to get rid of programmers, who will then operate the AI? The product managers who are typically pure business people and don't fully understand how software development is done? That will be like a lawyer flying a F22 Raptor. Also who will make sure that the code that the AI spat out aligns with the expected requirements and is efficient? You'd have to be insane to push AI generated code to production without verification.

Not the current style of "AI". It's dumb as hell. Only when we have a technology capable of novel and recursive thought will it be honestly useful in any creative regard.
