This article is a good reference to all the things you can leverage an AI to help you with coding - doing simple repetitive tasks, debugging, refactoring, etc etc.
All this stuff is just "code-helper", but, concluding that "coding wont exist" in 5 years is a far far stretch. Coding is a lot more than all this. Infact, good e-lisp script can do a lot of this even without an AI, but does not mean that it does all the coding (when I first started I was dreaming about writing emacs macros to do all my coding! but it never went anywhere)
There are still frontiers within in the realm of "code helper" that is not even close to being tackled by an AI, let alone replacing "coding".
Let me summarize this in a simple way.
As long as a human has to tell the computer what to do, it's coding. So as long as that is necessary, coding aint going anywhere. It might look a lot like natural language, but it will still be code written (dictated) by an expert.
...valid observation....
I agree!
