There is absolutely reason for concern, but it's not inevitable.

For the foreseeable future, I don't think we can simply Ralph Wiggum-loop real business problems. A lot of human oversight and tuning is required.

Also, I haven't seen anything to suggest that AI is good at strategic business decisionmaking.

I do think it dramatically changes the job of a software developer, though. We will be more like developers of software assembly lines and strategists.

Every company I have ever worked for has had a deep backlog of tasks and ideas we realistically were never going to get to. These tools put a lot of those tasks in play.

It frequently gets close for me, but usually some follow-up is needed. The ones that are closest to pure one-shot are bug fixes where replication can be captured in a regression test.
