That reminds me of the time where 3GL languages arrived and bosses claimed they no longer needed developers, because anyone could write code in those English-like languages.

Then when mouse-based tools like Visual Basic arrived, same story, no need for developers because anyone can write programs by clicking!

Now bosses think that with AI anyone will be able to create software, but the truth is that you'll still need software engineers to use those tools.

Will we need less people? Maybe. But in the past 40 years we have been increasing the developers productivity so many times, and yet we still need more and more developers because the needs have grown faster.
