Obviously you get that programming is the process of telling the computer what to do. Without being told what to do a computer is a very capable paperweight. Frameworks, high level languages and other abstractions are supposed to make it easier for us meatbags to compose and organise our instructions. Somebody - be that a human, an AI or some other mechanism - still has to compose those instructions in the first place. And if you remove humans from the application programming side, you still need to create and maintain the mechanism for figuring out what instructions to dispatch in any given circumstance. I think there is much more room to disrupt the process of programming, to remove much of the domain knowledge and break down barriers to entry, but ultimately the core problem of telling a dumb machine which bits to flip won't go away with current architecture.
