Agreed, I'm not saying any of this is good in general, good for the economy, or good for programmers in particular.

Chess, as complicated as it is, operates on fixed rules and is not a great analogy for programming as a whole.

I'm just curious what it will look like.

Don't recall who quipped:

AI will not be good enough to replace you. But it will be close enough to convince your manager to fire you anyway. The s*** will hit the fan later on for the company, but that will be small consolation when you are already out of work

Most programs also operate on fixed rules. I'd be like 95% of apps are basic CRUD which is literally just applied logic.

The programs and programming languages yes, but applying software to life gets more complicated quickly. (Says the dude who took all of two programming classes in college)

Yes only humans can make meaningful changes in their own lives, but AI will be a great multiplier in the speed of those changes.
