I've read those "reliable sources," and consider them to be hilariously over-ambitious. We've yet to replicate anything even resembling actual consciousness and imagination in code. All apparent strides in that area are smoke-and-mirror tricks accomplished with rigid, traditional programming structures (conditionals, neural networks, etc.) AI is incredible, but I can safely say it will never, ever replace human ingenuity. If you believe the breathless reports it will, I've got a bridge to sell you. ;-)
But I digress. If I couldn't be a programmer, I'd still be a writer, songwriter/musician, and stand-up comedian. But, since none of those are likely to replace a full-time job properly, I'd probably become an independent toymaker and board game designer.
