Speaking from somebody in the field, if AI was as good at programming as OP thinks it is we would be ecstatic. So much of our field is made up of web based hack jobs to cobble together technology that was never intended to work together, and it constantly changes so no "fix" is permanent. If there was something capable of automating all of that googling and deciphering undocumented, horrible APIs we would have the time and incentive to actually work on cool shit.

If it was so advanced that any human direction was a hindrance virtually every other white collar job would already be obsolete.
