Yep, I subscribe to this viewpoint. I am not as smart as the creators of ChatGPT or whatever is to follow, so maybe we’ll get lucky that AGI is pretty smart but can’t improve itself. But I think in the general case, if we create AIs that can replace programmers, economic concerns aren’t going to matter.

Yes. And we'll be in the true exponential times, because humans will be building wonderfully complex software in an instant, so we'll build huge, robust, open ecosystems in just a few moments.

The programming job market going away will be the last thing on my mind at that time, I think it would be one of the biggest shifts in human history.
