I think AI being able to program will bea boon.

Anyone will be able to create free and open software.  From a prompt, you could
open up possibilities where there werenot before.  Sure, you can categorise it
as lazy, but why not?

I write programs, and it is laborious.  A lot of the work is trying to maintain
data structures and program flow in your head.  You are having to use your mind
to model the machine.  The machine can model and understand itself, so you
don't have to.

Think of assembler.  People used to program in Assembler a long timeago, but
rarely now.  We use higher level languages, which output machine code.  The
compiler understands that level better than us, and most of the time, does a
better job.

AI programing is akin to a compiler that generates source.

We do need to makesure people still understand how it all works, but when AI
programming gets good, obsolescence will be a thing of the past.  Why not write
a program for MS-DOS that does what a Windows 10 CLI program does?  Want to
port something to another machine, now you can.  Is your computer OS not
supported?  Not a problem anymore.
