I feel like AI is a 5G language, in that we have moved on from writing code directly to writing md files to command the bots to write the code. It seems like a higher abstraction of the code. It does make you think less about the code directly, and more about the bigger picture, but you still need those skills to check the bots output.
Don't know why you got downvoted, you're 100% right. It's just another layer of abstraction. Like a super high level non-deterministic level of abstraction.
I would say that it's doesn't count as a "5G language" if you have to understand and check the underlying "assembly code" it outputs every time you use it.
