I still don't get how that will ever happen with super advanced text prediction tools but no truly AI.
I guess we need first a definition of "coder".
Is this the same as a Software Engineer?.
Because one thing is to write a function in a particular language from say a specification or funcional description someone hands you and another one entirely different is to design a system that interacts with many other systems, with budget/schedule constraints and under lots of uncertainty.
I understand how ChatGPT can accelerate some areas of this process, like having a StackOverflow on steroids to come up with particular snippets of code that solve very specific problems.
But replacing "coders", if we are talking about the action of typing syntax on a keyboard then maybe no-code platforms have more chances of making that process obsolete than ChatGPT.

For the sake of the argument yes, it's the same thing. The people who are writing functions based on a specification also need to consider how they interact with other systems, and the people who get to design systems don't spend all of their time doing this, they also need to produce code. The coder vs SWE distinction is a distraction here.
