If you were picking someone to ride herd on an AI generating code are you sure
- You will never need to understand a single bit of what the AI has generated for legal, moral, or strategic reasons?
- You will never need to manually rework a single thing or fix anything ever.
Logically neither statement is true furthermore who do you imagine is writing the tests that ensure correctness? Logically the person you would want to do this task isn't a yokel who understands interpersonal relationships its someone who understands what is being generated so your company wont murder people or get sued out of existence.
Of course you will probably want more than one person doing this task and there ought to be some interface between him and his fellows and between the lot of them and management to ensure good communication and company standards... Maybe a PM?
I find it endlessly fascinating that those who can't do dream about the obsolescence of the useful class deeming the irreplaceable human part of the endeavor is the petty manipulation of each other and ego massaging we all do by necessity to keep human endeavors tied together with bailing wire and barely plodding on. It doesn't speak well for our species.
Beyond narrow parameters self improving arbitrary representation and manipulation of symbolic data is basically AI complete. The toy you would hope to enable you to ask a computer instead of a person for a particular improvement to your website would upon completion represent a short step from the obsolescence not of coders but of humans wrought in vain hope that we can actually control tools smarter than us. It's probably neither "a few years" away nor that fantastic of an idea but do carry on.
