Very true, and this thought definitely crossed my mind as well. In the short term I imagine this is going to be like any other tool, it will increase your leverage, and make it possible for you to write code faster.
For example, I fed it 100 lines of a Django model and asked it to write some query code for me. Produced something that was possible faster than I could have. The few slight deficiencies it did have (optimizations) basically felt like me doing a code review.
