AI and the Future of Programming: Will Coders Become Obsolete ?
Since the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and more, there's been a lot of talk about whether AI will replace software programmers. But I believe AI won’t replace us; it will transform our roles. AI will automate some tasks but also free up to take other tasks. Overall, I see programmers playing a key role in using AI to drive change across industries.
AI won’t replace programmers, but rather make it easier for programmers to replace everyone else.
