I don't see that happening; there's no sense for large companies to hire lots of blue-collar programmers, when they could just automate any of the routine repetitive work.

What happens when we eventually train AI to write code for us? Then "programming" would be a lot more like data entry than creative work.

You'll notice that the more real-world experience people have with AI, the less likely they think this is any time in our lifetimes.

That's what the people who created Fortran thought. Instead, the types of programs people wrote became more complex once they didn't have to write them in assembler.
