When people say that a computer will take a computer programmer's job, they must be talking about a computer programmer's current job. I've always found that to be a bit silly because I hope that a lot of my job could be automated and I'll keep evolving what I can do without having to worry about those parts.

Well said! I can't really imagine that the job of a programmer will ever go extinct. There are definitely tasks that will be done by AI, but just like the AI we as developers also have to evolve - and do different tasks in the future. It's all about lifelong learning.
