One of the things which makes a programming language successful is the community. C and Python are good examples.
Look at the community around AI. If you want to predict the slow death of vibe programming you need look no further.
But there are lessons programming languages can take from AI. Language features and interfaces which allow iterative refinement are clearly highly desired by users. So many people describe their use of AI to create programs, their pursuit of a outcome right down into the weeds, and I think "You are programming, my friend". All they needed was the low-knowledge start.
