In a world where AI can generate any code for any environment, is there a need for another language?

On the other hand, we're at a point for a binary language (or standard / framework) that one AI/LLM creates and another one validates.

What are we missing?

Do we really want to stop evolving the space of languages (and libraries and frameworks while we're at it) just because we have LLM's writing code now? If LLM's were truly smart, they'd argue with us that we should stop asking them to write bash code, because it's a shitty error-prone language. True intelligence should be skeptical of itself and not take any request as a requirement.
Agreed, not our choice but isn't that the reality now?

If you know of a language that is perfect for all our needs today and tomorrow, please guide us to it.

Major concerns would be i) trust in the tooling, ii) quality and accountability, iii) future investment in competent engineering.

True, There isn't one, there will be never one. Isn't that how we end up so many and it never ends.
We're missing AI that doesn't still its hand held every step of the way.
You guys can stop down voting.

This is not something we're advocating, instead talking the reality from observing across the industry.

I wonder what notable thing has the "industry" produced during your observation (apart from more JIRA tickets).
