AIs are tools. The successful programmers will be the ones that can best use the tool towards their advantage. AIs can't function on their own. They need to be guided towards a solution for a human problem. That's where the new breed of programmers will succeed. You tell it what you want. It returns a result. Your job is to make sure it fills the need. I would even say that you are at the same level as everyone else since mediocre or award winning programmers are facing the same issue. Giving up because you think it will do your job and you don't have a role to play is not the answer.
