Still going to need people to craft those instructions to the AI.

What do we do today? Craft instructions for a computer. Not much difference if a computer is on the other side, or if an AI is.

Going from assembly -> java didn't eliminate all the programming jobs, AI won't either.

The difference is that the skills required to craft those instructions (prompts) will be diluted, so anyone can do it. The software industry will become like the news industry. Very few will survive what's coming.
