When people say "AI will write 90% of the code" I readily agree because 90% of what programmers write is "boiler plate".
There is "essential complexity" in programming and then there is a lot of "accidental complexity" (that is the boiler plate stuff) and this is very old wisdom from the Mythical Man Month.
AI is doing a great job eliminating the accidental complexity. Humans still needed to deal with the essential complexity.
In essence, AI can make mincemeat of patterns already discovered (by humans). Can it find totally new patterns? As with humans, that is much rarer and a quality known as "taste" or "knowing where to dig" or "follow a hunch or conviction all the way" is needed to discover new patterns. I don't know if AI can do this. I don't know if that can be brute forced.
