The parts of programming that are going to get automated are going to be the parts that require little skill, take a long time, and are boring as hell: writing boilerplate CRUD code, wiring up buttons to actions, etc. Automating the harder and more interesting parts of programming is many orders of magnitude more difficult. This requires a true understanding of the problem domain and the ability to "think." GPT-3 and similar are just really good prediction engines that can extrapolate based on training data of what's already been done. The answer therefore is the same as "how do I stay competitive vs. lower skill offshore labor?" You need to level up and become skilled in higher-order thinking and problem solving, not just grinding out glue code and grunt work.
