I feel pretty secure in my job, because in the future I’ll talk to the customers so the AI doesn’t have to instead of the engineers.

Typical conversation between a non-programmer and a programmer about AI:

Won't AI put you out of your job?

It probably won't

Well, can't AI write code much faster and more efficiently than humans?

How would it know what code to write?

I guess you would need to provide it with a description of the app that you want it to make?

So you're telling me that in the future, there will be machines that can generate computer code based entirely on a description of the required functionality?

I guess so?

Those machines are called "compilers", and "a description of the required functionality" is called "a program". You're describing programming.

Yep. Until customers can provide a clear, concise description of what they want there will always be jobs for programmers.
