extensively utilize artificial intelligence (AI) for coding,
significantly reducing the role of human programmers.

My thesis seems to be right. AI will make entry-level programmers redundant. Brilliant programmers will be able to do more. The mid-range will be split 50/50.
The interesting question is... what will this do when it comes to making sure we have skilled programmers in the future?
The young ones will not see it as an attractive profession, and if entry-level jobs disappear, there will be less opportunities to become an experienced programmer.
In 10-15 years, there will be an enormous lack of programmers, and the profession will then advance again.
