I have a view that we are shifting from the traditional form of Engineering into a more AI guided form, where may be we are not learning as much about the code but about how we can produce that code with correct instructions and high level design.

It's like how we might not know how sewing is done but we know how to put instructions in a loom to produce it. I also agree it is still important to read that code and understand how it works, may be take a moment to see what is happening but we are learning something entirely different here.

Things always eventually fail. To be able to understand everything related is, and will be a massive advantage to every aspect of existence.

We shouldnt be giving it up just for some mild convenience (which seems so far overall really mild). The gain simply doesnt match the long term loss.
