That has probably been case since the 80s; nearly all code running on your CPU is generated by a program ("compiler") from a textual description ("source")

That's not what is meant. Programming languages are basically huge macro systems that expand to assembly, but the code is still written by a human.

Layers of abstraction are a problem too, but they are a different problem.
