Doesn't the existence of this nice, encapsulated, hierarchical code make AI coding useless, rather than easy? You can just use those existing abstractions.

The reason AI coding systems exist is because it's hard, with our current programming language and libraries, to do things even if they've been done thousands of time before. If you can build new languages or new libraries/corpus where that's not a problem, you no longer need AI.

If coding is made easier for human’s and AI, by better abstractions, how would that make humans more useful and AI’s less useful?

The opposite is more likely.

The simpler a task, the easier it is to automate it.

The simpler a task, the greater the competitive need to automate it.

It's AI which creates those abstrations itself.
