This is a sad timeline. "AI is going to replace engineers.. but first please fill this human-readable markdown file to help it understand your code". What a bunch of morons, that's just called documentation.
Instead of using AI where it can actually have positive impact on human lives like medicine, biology, et al. we're wasting huge amounts of resources and generating tons of pollution to teach it to program and steal art and books so Aunt Lily can generate a video of a dog.
