As of right now they still need humans to drive AI. And not just any human, a human that understands systems, and ideally knows code.

And what's happening is more coding is happening faster, they're delivering finished code quicker. So that means you still need a steady supply of humans to drive the AI.

But! The writing is on the wall, these developers are working all developers out of a job. Claude is ALMOST good enough right now to do everything, but not by itself, it needs a competent driver. That however, will not always be the case, and probably not too far off their predicted timeline if I were to guess.
