I think this article gives AI more credit than it demonstrates at present and simplifies the examples.

It's useful I expect for quick fixes/guidance like the loop example.

For example on improving performance - these days that often needs holistic architectural re-think - surely a creative process? The idea of optimizing involving a loop seems very distant from heterogeneous asynchronous behavior of modern hardware.

If AI really does start to solve in the more 'general' way not just a bit of object recognition here and there, won't software developers incorporate with it as part of process instead. Enabling even more sophisticated software to be written?

I think that is the key part of longevity to software development as a career. The compiler didn't remove the assembly programmer it simply enabled a whole new level of software complexity to be feasible.
