Part of the issue is that I think you are underestimating the number of people not doing "advanced" programming. If it's around ~80-90%, then that's a lot of +1s for AI

Wrong. 80% of code not being advanced is quite strictly not the same as 80% people not doing advanced programming.

I completely understand the difference, and I am standing by my statement that 80-90% of programmers are not doing advanced programming at all.

Why do you feel like I'm underestimating the # of people not doing advanced programming?

Theoretically, if AI can do 80-90% of programming jobs (the ones not in the "advanced" group), that would be an unequivocal +1 for AI.
