This is absolutely the future, but it's not going to be obscure. You won't have a job if it isn't this or physical.

AIs are going to replace entry level creatives, and experienced users with taste will largely perform selection and the development of good starts to mature designs. And I mean all creatives. Engineers, architects, mathematicians, programmers.

Mathematicians, doubtful. Someone must do some verification of the AI results.

Programmers, also doubtful. You still need to design some APIs and interact with them. Interacting with an AI using natural language might become possible, but it definitely won’t be as efficient as more structured languages. (E.g., writing an algorithm in actual code is often much easier than teaching it to a human.)

I really like your last sentence. It's exactly the thing to respond to people saying "AI will automate programmers"

It's exactly that verification of results and development from snippets and starts into a complete whole that will be the purview of human work. The AI will be replacing (or, rather, preventing the creation of positions for) juniors.
