AI is a powerful tool that can help programmers with many tasks, such as writing code, debugging, testing, and optimizing.
AI can only generate code based on existing data, but it cannot invent new algorithms, understand the business value of features, or refactor old and buggy code. Therefore, AI can be used to assist, inspire, and collaborate with programmers, but not to replace them.
Programmers will always be needed to make software that is innovative, reliable, and user-friendly. AI will change programming, but not eliminate programmers.
