Unlike higher level programing languages AI doesn't actually make programmers more efficient (https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.09089). Many people who are great programmers and love programing aren't interested in having their role reduced to being QA where they just review the bad code AI designed and wrote all day long.

In a hypothetical world where AI is actually decent enough to be any good at writing software, the demand for software being infinite won't save even one programmer's job because zero programmers will be needed to create any of it. Everyone who needs software will just ask AI to do it for them. Zero programing jobs needed ever again.
