Well yes, but also people can use TenserFlow and other AI tools without learning how to properly code. And they can also get the results they want. So be afraid of the question "do you really need to know how to code" anymore.

If you want to disabuse yourself of the notion that AI is close to replacing programmers for anything but the most mundane and trivial tasks, try to have GPT 4 generate a novel implementation of moderate complexity and watch it import mystery libraries that do exactly what you want the code to do, but that don't actually exist.

Yeah, you can do a lot without writing a single line of code. You can certainly interact with the models because others who can have already done the leg work. But someone still has to do it.
