In real life I haven't met a single programmer who doesn't think AI can do their job.
If someone would actually say that I would immediately think they have hubris and overestimate their skills.

Perhaps we are defining "job" differently? AI can, with much coaching, _perhaps_[1], do some _aspects_ of a programmer's job. But not all of it, or even the most important parts of it.
[1] given that we have spent the past many decades pointing out that developer productivity is possibly impossible to measure, or at least very hard; given "done" vs "done done"; given the history of "rock star" developers creating messes behind them, the difference between short and long term thinking and the external imperceptability of that difference; given all of that, we haven't really had enough time to form a valid opinion on what AI can do, in the long run.
…if not, they’ve found developer work that ai can’t do yet, no?
