Now is the time for us to hold seemingly contradictory propositions: A child born today will live to see 99% of all computer code written by artificial intelligence, but the current AI boom is massively overcapitalized.

No, I want 140 characters.
How is it contradictory?
I'd argue that software is being written (either by humans or AI) in an order that it progressively adds less marginal value (if we define value in the capitalistic sense).
Most of the value that software will ever create has already been created.
The only truly valuable missing things are stuff whose value is not easy to translate to capitalists, or need some visionary work.
That's already the case if you call compilers/interpreters "AI". Just a new higher level abstraction for code.
