That outlook depends what you think programmers do... Is it the act of writing code or is it creating things? I often wonder this when the threads discussing raw typing speed come up, or the "extra typing" involved in optional curly braces. Even today, without LLMs, only 20% or less of my work is writing actual code. Requirements/research, designing, optimizing, testing, etc make up the lion's share. So you take out that 20%, I'll be more productive, but my work doesn't change.
