Computer Science Engineering is not typing code into a computer. Just like C code reduced the typing from assembly language, which reduced the flipping switches to load machine code, AI will reduce the type needing to create code. May also reduce the simple bugs, but leave the really nasty ones for the humans to hunt down. Coding is taking customer input, turning it into requirements then creating code and test cases from the requirements. The hard part is taking customer inputs and figuring out all the ways they can mess it up intentionally or accidentally. I see great expansion of hacking as AI creates new holes to exploit.

I retired from this after 30 years of programing/testing and hardware design on just about every type of system from small to large. Love small , still do that for fun.

I think what AI is going to demand is greater emphasis on understanding fundamentals - math, physics, chemistry, etc. You have to know enough to be suspicious that you might be getting BS from AI. Also you have to know enough to formulate the questions to AI.
