Absolutely true.

If your code is so repetitive that can be correctly predicted by an AI, you are either using a language that lacks expressiveness or have poor abstraction.

The biggest problem in the software world is excessive complexity, excessive amounts of (poor) code and reinventing the wheel.

You're underestimating the sophistication of said AI.
