Keep on dreaming. Maybe programmers will stay, but they will become a hell of a lot more efficient. Like 1 programmer doing the work of 100 (or whatever). It's a pattern that arises in every field AI has entered.

Yeah I somewhat agree. In the mid/long term probably yes, it will make most of us redundant, but we will not be replaced as the question in the post asked. I also don't think we should worry much still, at least not about copilot.

I also don't see it happening any time soon. However, AI has this exponential thing which makes our guess as good as anyone else's. We may still be on the shallow curve for years, but boy, when it steepens, I'm sure things will change rapidly.

Absolutely. Also, with efficiency comes the need to trim away the unneeded heads: entry levels, juniors and even some mid levels.
