That’s not quite right.

The tools are going to get better, and it’s going to lift everyone while doing so. But it will vary across task.

The bottom tier of engineers will have improvements to their code.

The top engineers will move faster. Top engineers will still be great at what they do.

Unless there's a fundamental change in how the technology works, it'll never get to the point you're talking about. We're still waiting on our self-driving cars, remember.

Also, when it comes to music, who are the people in the rock and roll hall of fame? Those who can play the guitar real good? Or those who crafted songs that people love? AI will never be able to do the latter. But, AI can play power chords better than any session guitarist. That session guitarist is going to have to learn how to compete in another way than his guitar playing skill.
