The problem for high-performing developers (even the elitest) is that over a long enough time scale, they won't be remotely competitive with high performing AI. At the moment we need human operators to guide and supervise these AIs, but unless the tech's progress grinds to a halt for some unforeseeable reason, it won't be this way for long.

We will always have humans that are better at using some tool than others, this won't change with AI.

I know this is a common belief, but its an assumption lacking evidence.

Assumption, sure. Lacking evidence, though? I see tons of evidence. Circumstantial sure, but it's not exactly a claim out of the blue. In 5 years these things have gone from economically worthless toys to very competent replacements for juniors. Maybe the improvement stops, but that would be an assumption without evidence.
