OP compared AI to interns, and how they need to guide it and instuct it on simple things, like using unit tests. Well, what about when AI is actually more like an ultra talented programmer. What exactly would OP bring to the table apart from being able to ask it to solve a certain problem?

Their comment about people who don't operate like them being out of a job might be true if AI doesn't progress past the current stage but I really don't see progress slowing down, at least in coding models, for quite some time.

So, whatever relevance OPs specific methods have right now will quickly be integrated into the models themselves.
