From today's Aero-News email newsletter:

The End Of Manned Fighters?
F-35 Will Be Last Of Traditional Aircraft

I believe unmanned fighters are here to stay and there will be an
increasing role for them, but that does not mean that the manned variety are
in any danger of extinction. Actually, we have had unmanned fighters for
decades, we just used to call them missiles.

Remember a few decades ago when they said that guns were obsolete on
fighters?
