The solution to every problem in programming is another rlayerbof abstraction.

For me programming was always about expressing my intend.

I don’t think about the instructions the compiler generates. I also rarely think about the expanded form of a template expression.

If ai just acts as an it remediate between me and the compiler by adding jet-another- abstraction between me and the generated instruction, why should I care?

I will still have to somehow explain the machine what it is that I want.

An AI is not a layer of abstraction. It’s not deterministic, it’s frequently wrong, and its scope cannot be clearly defined.
