AI (made by the White man) is being used to help nons actually write code that is functional. My company admitted that “AI has had a profound impact on their Low Cost Countries but minimal in their High Cost Countries”

I'm a programmer by trade (or at least used to be).
The secret of programming is that programs write programs. It's how it's always been. If you're using a computer, you're actually programming them, and it's programmers who wrote programs that made it possible for you to do so.
There is only ever one program that anyone ever writes, and it's a compiler. Once you know how to write your own compiler, programming becomes trivial, almost boring.
This "AI assisted programming" or whatever nonsense they are actually doing is just more programs writing programs, this time very inefficiently.
My prediction: The code they are writing doesn't work, just like the code that junior programmers have always written. Except this time, junior programmers will never become senior programmers, so about 10 years from now, computers will become almost useless because no one knows how to use them anymore.
I'm fine with that.
After all, you can't eat computers.
Or, put in more simple terms: It's all pointless anyways. So what if we write programs that can capture our attention, waste our time, and drain our resources? In the end, someone has to put food on your plate and clothes on your back and computers can't do that.
