Natural language is not a programming language. Programming is precision. Natural language is fuzzy.

>> spend my retirement having fun in it.

People who have reaped the rewards of their careers tend not to be the ones concerned about their futures. Apathy.

Even if I were retired and financially set now, that would mean nothing in 10 years if an unemployed society collapses around me. Apathy is not on the menu today.

Not everyone has to become a programmer, people at the start of their careers can chooses paths other than programming if they're afraid of the (lack of) future prospects from AI. Where did people work before the ZIRP boom? Those industries are still around. Plenty of STEM related jobs besides programing.
