Horribly dangerous framing from The Guardian here, normalising the writing of code as something that doesn't have to be done by humans.
A human always has to take accountability. Always. And the non-human has a worse-than-humans track record at getting it right.

1. In a way, the volume’s title describes it well. In the era before machine learning and AI, when computer programs were exclusively written by humans, the term “source code” meant something. It described computer programs that could be read – and understood, if you knew the programming language – enabling you to explain why the machine did what it did.
