So, your argument is that AI does not replace programmers, it just... replaces programmers?

I pointed out the fact that AI does not replace programmers. You still need people between keyboards and chairs delivering code and maintaining systems.

What AI does is make developers far more efficient at their job.

If you have employees that do their work in less time, they do not get more free time. They get more work. The moment their workforce is more productive, employees start to need fewer employees to deliver the same volume of work.
