And it will most likely be entirely unreadable by people.
In the end, it's always assembly code that runs on some processor. The miraculous AI would skip the compiler and use assembly directly again.
We could, of course, build custom AI chips that work totally differently. Guess what: We already have them. It's called a graphics processor, designed to process large batches of vectors or matrices. Just what you need to simulate a neural network. But not everything is a batch job, right?

the common man/woman/space alien.
Most people we write business software for, will be replaced by robots/AI. They will be the ones that get shafted in the deal.
I think certain people/leaders need to start listening to Elon Musk on this topic, if they are not already.

never mind artificial intelligence 
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

I'm intelligent, but I'm just visiting. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

We will, I'm sure, be largely replaced at some point. Just as agrarian and industrial age jobs have been massively reduced by automation, so info age jobs will follow.
Whether or not AI will be the main driver of this is open to question but there will be other things like higher level languages, better practices and cleaner platforms that will dramatically reduce the number of pure development jobs as the years go by.
I think that for all but the youngest of us, there will always be a role for the technically literate but I suspect that many of us will find that technology becomes an aspect of our role rather than the focus of it.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

AI is some manager's wet dream, but there are good alternatives.
We could for example, simply replace those managers. It probably would not take such an advanced AI to still reach an enormous improvement. And while we are at it, we could also replace some of the customers.

...but when / if we develop truly sentient artificial intelligence, we going to have to treat it like a human, or better. Or ... Skynet anybody?

In the presence of "natural stupidity" of the world, artificial intelligence will have a hard time without guidance.
Most of our work in IT is dealing with the incredibly stupid things users do with software and the s#$@ they enter as data.

Sentient is no problem. I was programming and installing computerized systems in the late 70s and into the 80s that could sense things - temperature, position, movement, humidity, proximity, etc. IOW, the machines "sensed" things in their environment and acted on them.
The correct word is sapient. No AI is anywhere near being sapient.

There is a difference from acting like intelligent. They simply act and sound like intelligent (for certain people indeed).
I do not fear of failure. I fear of giving up out of frustration.
