I really look forward to the day when cpu, gpu and memory are all integrated into one package, not only would performance be much better, but it should be cheaper overall then buying the 3 components separately, it might even be easier for developers to code for, but it does have its downsides, it wouldn't be as flexible in the case of PC users that upgrade independent hardware, but if I'm honest, I think I prefer a single package as when I do upgrade my PC, I pretty much upgrade almost everything apart from the case and maybe the PSU, I always upgrade the cpu, gpu, motherboard and memory at the same time so having a single package for me wouldn't change anything, just as long as it still allows upgradeable.

Simply answer, no, programmers are not obsolete, at least not yet.
But personally, I think A.I. will assist us with programming and everything else, that will allow a lot more people to program even without the skills needed and eventually, A.I. is likely going to get so good that programming as well as many other things won't be needed as a skill, just a creative mind will do, which ironically, A.I. will help there as well.
Longer term, I suspect A.I. with robotics is going to be able to do any job we can do, cheaper, better and faster than we can do, any new job we create, A.I. will likely be able to do that as well, because of the adaptive nature of A.I. it should be able to adapt to any new jobs we create.
The scary thing about that is that we've created a system that depends on putting us to work, the current system wouldn't be effective as A.I. takes over a lot of jobs, and governments usually lets things get worse before radical changes are demanded from the public, which I suspect could lead to some kind of basic human income, as there might not be enough jobs to go around that radical changes to society will be needed.
On the plus side, this will allow us all to work on projects that we enjoy working on, passion projects, without having to worry about bills, but honestly, before we get to that state, I expect things to get worse before they get better because governments are slow to make radical changes, this will vary from country to country, where I suspect European countries will fare better than the US, being that European countries already have an extensive social program in place, it would just be a matter of extending that, the mindset from Europeans is already in place to allow that, but the US on the other hand could find it much harder to do this because of the individual mindset of Americans and the poor social programs in place, which will make it much harder to do these changes in the US compared to many other countries.
