I thought coding skill is mostly about logical thinking, problem solving, and idea implementation instead of merely writing code?
Even then, who's gonna code to improve the AI in a meaningful way if everyone not learning to code? What if AI write their own update badly and no one correct it, and then the badly written AI write an even worst version of it? I think in biology we called that cancer.
