Something I've always found funny about the "AI will replace programmers soon" is that this means AI's can create AI's and isn't this basically the end of the economy?

Every office worker is out of a job just like that and labourers only have as long as it takes to sort out the robot bodies then everyone is out of a job.

You thought the great recession was bad? You ain't seen nothing!

I just always expect a human is still need to glue some process together and in that niche little area, whole industries are created and the rest of us have to learn it
