I first remember reading about how software development will be done by
computers and most programmers will be out of a job some 35 years ago.
I remain unconvinced.

Indeed. Boiler plate code interface or GUI code isn't an issue even for 4GL
tools, the actual program logic is another matter. To tell an AI the fine
details of what you want the program to do you'd need to write such a
comprehensive spec you might just as well right the code yourself anyway.
