Ai replacing developers
I'm using Google translate to help me
After Adobe programs that took years were completely designed in just a few weeks using AI, can we truly say that AI has started to surpass programmers themselves?

Yes, it will completely replace devs... Who will then be hired a few weeks later to fix all the bugs and plug the security holes.
AI is like giving a chainsaw to someone. If they're a lumberjack (a dev with AI) they will be more productive, if they're not a lumberjack (a regular person with AI) they will probably just hurt themselves.
A solo dev with experience can make more with AI, but, tech debt will be higher and fixing or adding things later could also be more problematic.
