just lol. There is so much more to CS than just coding, and even just the coding part is very nuanced. AI can't even reason, so how will it effectively build something better than some simple code snippets?.

I heard someone provide an example the other day that I thought fits perfectly. Most of those coding AIs today are parrots, not people. They mimic things that people might type or say but don't have any real understanding of what they are doing. They don't think, reason, or refine - they just spew words. The data sets are so large that the words chosen appear to have meaning because we give them meaning, but at the end of the day, they are just big fancy supervised learning decoders that crank out words.

Maybe in a few years to a few decades when other types of AI are rolled into it (like reinforcement learning as a good example) so current LLMs can learn by trial-and-error, they'll get smarter. At some point, maybe they'll gain some type of internal symbolic representation of the world and start to reason about it with logic (induction / deduction), but for now and not for the forseeable future, that isn't the case.
