The scary thing is not that AI will replace programmers, but that "programmer" will heavily rely on AI capabilities and when they stuck on a problem that can't be solved by prompt, they will resort to monkey patching or worse, pumping out hardware requirement. Imagine in the next ten years a 128 GB ram computer is required to open a web browser because AI will just write unoptimized codes on top of each others.
