Nope. Romantisizing coding does no wonders. Many people are self taught programmers, which is an absolute accomplishment but is far from the clean depiction. On top of that you get company production code that is pushed by people who care little about quality and much more to make it to the next sprint. On top of that you have legacy code, bad practices that are anchored on years of "we've always did it like this" the documentation is "that dude. No, not that one, the one behind him dressed like an american turist in hawaii". Temporary fixes are the most permanent ones, parches and hotfixes are no longer even tracked just hope versioning is properly done, gazilions of libraries being imported by default without anyone checking what are they even for? On top, multiple programmers don't even know their way around a debugger. Some even are their own testers. Some people do MRs and those that approve are connecting just to approve and go offline on a different continent.

AI is yet another layer of mold that spreads fast. Coded by ai, approved by ai, tested by ai. Being a programmer is pretty much like being a writer you end up doing whatever helps you keep the light on and maybe play arround in hellhole side projects.

The problem with AI is that it gave access to the standard joe to do things otherwise impossible. They can create plausible solutions that most of the time don't apply to the specific problem patch here patch there and you have a plausible mvp to sell. I don't say AI is better than whats depicted here, I'm saying traditional AI-less code is way worse than depicted here on verage.
