Might happen soon, might not. AI has so far proven astounding for problems to which solutions are robust to small perturbations -- natural language, visual art -- but code is different.

Breaking the problem into bite sized pieces is the really hard problem. I can't explain my codebase to the AI. I have to figure out what to change myself. If I can offload syntactical stuff to an AI, great, that'll save me 10% of my time. Nothing to sneeze at, but nothing that will make my job disappear either.
