The whole premise seems off. The article claims that AI could only ever help with code editing/typing, and not with navigating, understanding the codebase, etc. Which current AIs can already do to some extent.
And therefore, according to major-citation-needed pie chart, editing code is only 5% of the job, thus AI will always and forever only be able to save us 5% or less of our time.

Seems pretty wooly.
