What happens when there are no more toolmakers?

    Well, if by "toolmakers" you mean those devs cranking out text
   editors, search engines, or AI chatbots: We're swimming in them these
   days, more than ever before in human history! So I'd say: I'll cross
   that bridge when I come to it, if we ever actually run low on those
   folks. (Sure, some tech fields are hurting for talent, but that's
   probably not because of the new AI chatbots hitting the scene.)

I mean people who have serious work to do and know how to make a computer do it for them.  REAL experts.  If there are only people who know how to use the tools already provided for them, who will make NEW tools?
