The correct way (I think) to think of these talking computers is as the third great User Interface paradigm:

    I    CLI
    II   GUI
    III  Human language

Computer programming just isn't that hard. (I maintain that if you can solve a Sudoku puzzle you can program a computer.) The market for programmers was based on people being unwilling to learn CLI or GUI interfaces but this consideration doesn't affect Linguistic UI systems because, of course, people learn to talk automatically as children.

Ergo, I suspect that not only will GPT et. al. drastically reduce demand for coders, it will reduce demand for e.g. computer languages, frameworks, stacks, etc. What I mean is that questions like "which programming language to use?" will become obsolete.
