If an AI could write perfect code every time it'd make my job a lot easier but I'd still have to do a significant amount of work such as:
That's just off the top of my head, I'm sure I've missed some things. As much as I love writing code I honestly feel like if an AI could do that part it'd just take stress out of my day and give me more time to focus on those other parts of the job. Of course in reality more work would probably just be piled on but that's just life I guess.
