I think AI isn't going to replace the upper level of programmers, but I do believe the absolute number of programmers will drop as AI completes more and more of the labor involved in coding.
A lot of entry level jobs just won't exist anymore, because the AI will do the typing work while a small number of people manage the AI.
And this will apply to pretty much all white collar work - at least that's my prediction.
I believe that besides blue collar jobs, AI will practically eradicate the middle class, and sadly there won't be a UBI to pick up the slack. But maybe I'm just too damn cynical.
