@davidgerard Interesting. But, given how capable AI is at coding, should anyone bother to learn to code anymore? Is it pointless teaching yourself to code in Python, for example? Or any other language?
(Update: Thanks for all the great answers. It’s all very interesting as a phenomenon. I’m only really interested in programming in terms of its use in doing maths. Moreover, it could come in handy one day if I’m stuck outside the pod door and HAL won’t let me in!)
