> most students will learn a lot less than say 5 years ago while the top 5% or so will learn a lot more

If we assume that AI will automate many/most programming jobs (which is highly debatable and I don't believe is true, but just for the sake of argument), isn't this a good outcome? If most parts of programming are automatable and only the really tricky parts need human programmers, wouldn't it be convenient if there are fewer human programmers but the ones that do exist are really skilled?

The only task required from a dev is to think

AI does not think

Ergo, AI will not take "programming jobs"

It may highlight some "fraud people" (do not know how to say it in english .. you know, people who fake the job so hard but are just clowns, do not produce anything, are basically worthless and just here to grab some money as long as the fraud is working)

It's not good if you're a freshman currently starting a CS program or a teacher trying to figure out what to do
