    No. Not really. “Computer” also used to refer to a human profession. I believe “programmer” will be exclusively referring to an AI role in a generation or two.

    But that will enable more people to become software designers and architects. Like a mathematician, they’ll need to understand how to perform programming tasks manually, but won’t need to do so in day to day work.

        They error out all the time with bad input. But the tech has long been perfected on the basics, you’re right about that. But naive to think AI will never get to that point for any tasks.
