If as GP says AI could automate 1% of a single programmer's job (the boring part where you write code), then how on earth can you derive that a single programmer could do the job of 5 with AI? It's completely illogical.
If they indeed wait for input from other departments/companies 99% of the time (so they just need to actually program 5 minutes in their 8-hour workday), then they can be already thrown out of a job and have the company do with 1/10 the programmers, no AI required...
Clearly the company needs to dedicate a programmer to wait on each customer individually. You can’t have the same person waiting for two things simultaneously.
