Physically typing out the code is one of the last steps. Before that can happen the problem which is to be solved must be identified. An appropriate approach to the problem must be formulated.

Look around at some of the deranged hype in this AI cycle or look back on previous hype cycles. Many of the proposed "solutions" do not solve the problems of consumers. Solutions in search of a problem are as abundant as novel tech. These things dominate the zeitgeist. Perhaps they help inspire us, but they are not guaranteed to solve immediate problems.

There's an important distinction between problem solving skills, tools and the most probable token. To innovate is to do something new. AI, on the other hand, does the most probable thing.
