Hmm. Go was written to be easier for junior developers to use, and to be maintainable "in the large".

I wonder if we need a language designed to be easier for an AI to reason about, or easier for a human to see the AI's mistakes.

I think in 5 years you are absolutely right, but for now we desperately need a language which is easy for ai and easy for humans. The stuff that AI has suggested to me is about 50% genius in about 50% idiocy. I don't know what that language is, if I could pick it personally, I would pick elixir, but I recognize that we're probably looking at typescript or something like that
I totally see "read-only" language emerging in the future. A language that is never written by humans yet has unambiguous syntax and semantics.
