All that I've gathered from articles and comics like this is that we should quickly replace programmers with AI since programmers easily become unproductive and thus more expensive because they are easily 'damaged' by external causes. From a risk management perspective, why would I hire a programmer and pay them 200k a year when they cannot handle basic communication without becoming unproductive? It sounds like I'd be better off with a robot if it is capable of doing the same thing a human can, right? Programming is the transformation of human language to a foreign language that computers can understand. Are humans still necessary when robots are able to understand humans and become fluent ESLs?
