Given the echo chamber of HN when it comes to AI that certainly seems inevitable. The question is - who would work on novel things or further AI model improvements if it so happens that knowledge of writing software by hand disappears?
A selected few, just like some mechatronic engineers get to develop new factory robots, and a few lucky ones stay around to do the manual tasks they still can perform or press the big red button when something goes wrong.
I can answer your question in two ways:
1. AI will work on AI. 2. People will work on AI, but as a rare niche, not a mainstream area of software development.
