Interesting point! Now we all think that for making good program, good
programmer must be present in the time of its creation. But once advanced, human
like thinking computers will be there to write the programs on their own.
Presence of the human, after a while, will be not necessary and maybe even a
nuisance. Why even to listen to somebody who is prone to so often mistakes? If
humans will still have at that time Chess Club, it will be only to go there and
see whose computer was the most smart in creating the chess game for his master.
