This is how I view it. The actual servers and computers run machine code. And we're now at a point where we can describe intent to a machine and have an ok bit of code come out of the AI process.

Now the trick will be making sure that we don't over train the bots and end up having a really complex refined description language that the AI interprets to make code, that itself just get boiled down by interpreters and compilers a few times until the CPU finally get's the instructions it actually needs. Hopefully we'll find balance.

I like to describe AI's impact on coding like the invention of the nailgun for carpenters. No ones job is going away, things are going to get more complex and done faster.
