There is no reason to assume human programmers are somehow special apart from all other disciplines and tasks, except maybe to delude oneself with a false sense of (job) security. Computers using AI, deep learning and natural language processing will eventually be able to program themselves. This is the next, big revolution that is inevitable. |

How am I assuming that human programmers are special apart from all others disciplines and tasks? I'm saying that ensuring computers do the will of a human will require some amount of human labor. There are many other disciplines and tasks that also require human labor. How is this attempting to elevate anything?

"Program themselves" is so loose as to be meaningless. Do you mean that when I say "Echo, play me some music", it programs itself to go out and stream some music? If so, then sure, I agree, thanks.
As another poster stated, "self-programming computers" basically just means that new languages which handle more of the manual work for us emerge and enter general usage. Until a computer can learn to read thoughts (which may happen, but afaik is still quite distant), humans will still need to communicate their intent to the computer; that is, the computer will need "programming", which is the term we now use to refer to instructing a computer.
