> Yeah, keep hearing about how AI will make programmers obsolete. Good luck teaching an AI how to interpret the product managers' super vague requests and understand the context in one sentence.

This is the point the article was trying to make! Coding is not the same thing as understanding requests and translating them in to software. Someone who is doing that (e.g. a software engineer) will be able to make use of a bot that can "code".

For what it’s worth, people said the same thing about Chess, then Go, then Starcraft. In these battles, AI seems to win with enough time.

These are all games with rules and absolute information. Product managers that can't express themselves is different.

Making an AI that can generate code from requirements is probably difficult, but manageable. Making an AI that asks the right questions, gets stakeholders to agree on something reasonable, and create solid specifications from that, is probably a long time from now.

The absolute information requirement got dropped when the AI started playing Starcraft with fog of war. It then has to decide how and when to scout, which is pretty cool
