Until there's actual general AI, we'll still need people that understand how things work on a fundamental level. You can use AI created code, but you still need someone to tie everything together. You're also going to want an experienced person to debug when something goes wrong.

Automation tends to make a portion of people more prosperous at the cost of displacing some other portion. In order to realize prosperity for everyone, there must be minimal displacement and likely a robust social safety net to enable the displaced to recover and attain prosperity at some later time.
