> Until AI can create an Angular application with a .Net Core Azure back-end that meets ever-changing customer requirements ("can we remove the need for Bootstrap 4? Can we make the integration with Active Directory seamless?") on short notice, not very soon at all!
I think you are arguing for "Not all programming tasks that can be automated away by a bot that can win IOI / ICPC."
However, what I'm asking is: "Does there exist 10% of programming that can be automated away by a bot that can win IOI / ICPC" ?
Furthermore, I think you are also assuming that human programmers remain static, while the AI has to be a 'drop in replacement for humans.' On the other hand, if we look at AWS -- AWS didn't build some AI that is a drop in replacement for sys admin work. AWS built their own API, humans adapted to it.
It seems to me that in a world where such an IOI/ICPC winning bot existed, programmers would adapt to it (just as programmers have adapted to AWS), by figuring out "how can I leverage this API so that I don't have to hire someone to do FOOBAR"
