    I feel pretty secure in my job, because in the future I’ll talk to the customers so the AI doesn’t have to instead of the engineers.

      Typical conversation between a non-programmer and a programmer about AI:

      Won’t AI put you out of your job?

      It probably won’t

      Well, can’t AI write code much faster and more efficiently than humans?

      How would it know what code to write?

      I guess you would need to provide it with a description of the app that you want it to make?

      So you’re telling me that in the future, there will be machines that can generate computer code based entirely on a description of the required functionality?

      I guess so?

      Those machines are called “compilers”, and “a description of the required functionality” is called “a program”. You’re describing programming.
