Always wrong, always.
Pick some problem space. Now imagine specifying some tool to work in that problem space. Now imagine all of the unique cases and complex interactions that need to be handled and how the specification needs to take into account all of them. You can't simply rely on "obvious by context" solutions, the specification needs to embody that context, AI won't save you. What you have in the end is a very complex machine, it is code. You can move up and down the abstraction levels from machine/assembly code up to python or SQL up to even higher levels, but it's all just coding. I contend that job will never go away. It may approach problems at progressively higher levels of abstraction but that just makes it more valuable, not less. Today coders are able to automate things that in the 1960s would have seemed like magic, are coders less valuable and in demand today or more?
