Yep true AI is not language models, this is just the beginning.
Compilation turns source code into binaries, and that's because humans wants to write code rather than machine code, again because we are not smart enough to quickly write machine code.
I expect computers to skip all these steps completely in the future and just generate programs immediately.
Programming languages are only a way to describe a problem. Even with AI if you want it to build software for you, you have to describe your problem and to describe problems human languages are not that efficient, soooo... AI would require kinda a programming language, just an high level one. Maybe you can avoid writing logics, but as a software engineer, writing logics is the easiest and less time demanding task in serious software development.
You will be able to talk to the computer but more importantly, the computer will already know a lot of patterns what is the best way to do something under the conditions you will describe.
It will be like having only top programmers write code when you explain to them what you want, except much faster. There could also be brain implants to interact directly, but that I think is at least 30 years away.
