I believe it. Maybe not replace 100%, but effectively replace it. I believe that at some point, AI will get good enough that most companies will eventually stop hiring someone that doesn’t utilize AI. Because most companies are just making crud (pun intended). It’ll be like specialized programming languages. Some will exist, and they may get paid a lot more, but most people won’t fall into that category. As much as we like to puff ourselves up, our profession isn’t really that hard. There are a relative handful of people doing some really cool, novel things. Some larger number doing some cool things that aren’t really novel, just done very nicely. And the majority of programmers are the rest of us. We are not special. What I don’t know is the timing. I don’t expect it to be within 5 years (though I think it will _start_ in that time), but I do expect it within my career.
