Who will prompt the AI for code? Manager?
Also, you mentioned it gave wrong result at first. How did you know? Because you know how to code.
As mentioned in other comment she should learn more about programming so she can become indispensible.

I think you, likely as not, have a rude awakening ahead of you. GPT can enshittify code, too. Unwind libraries into oceans of repeated Copilot-descendant code all over the place. It'll just take longer.
You and I will be 75 and smiling, with a tear too. We knew and understood tools that are meant for a more civilized age. Just surrender, let it go.
That prompt is basically code, written by a programmer, although it resembles natural language so we're closer to usable literate programming than we've ever been.
Programmers didn't disappear with new (higher-level) programming languages, if anything there have been more of them; how is this different?
It is not beneficial to human organizations to have indispensable members. You can argue it's not good for the mental health of the indispensable people either.
When I first heard the quote in my first line, I thought it was cruel, inhumane and shockingly selfish on the part of employers. Nearly 30 years later, I see it almost entirely the other way around. Let's not build organizations full of indispensable people, but rather organizations in which tasks and expertise and stress and fear and success and joy are shared.
That sounds cruel - "I will make sure this organization can always function without you, so you have no leverage here" - but I do sincerely believe that it actually makes for a better working experience.
It's expressing the author's discomfort and so it's pessimistic.
I think those are fine.
Who will prompt? Yes, the manager.
The post covered that - she's trying, but struggling with it. Not everyone has the kind of mind that can understand, write and manage code easily. So what then?
Using APIs can get you a larger external memory, but we still have relatively small context windows these days.
This is a deeply, deeply inhumane way to parse the world and the feelings of other people.
