my argument remains one and only one. If AI companies somehow manage to train the best AI which can provide code for any kind of software or app, don’t you think we still need a programmer to read and understand the code in order to implement it.

The same thing they said when Wordpress was released the first time. They said Wordpress will eliminate the need for programmers and that you wouldn’t need to learn how to code in order to create a website. It’s being more than 20 years and programmers are still alive and kicking.

My biggest disappointment so far comes from the CEO of nvidia. He made comments in front of a more influential audience that AI will replace programmers. In my opinion, it is just a move to drive his company’s stock price higher.

If you are learning to code, please do not let these greedy bastards who are looking for funding for their miserable AI’s convince you otherwise. As long as computers exist, programming will also exist.
