A compiler determistically creates assembly through a set of rules not through AI. You absolutely cannot compare these two in that way.

I guarantee you that your bias is a complete misunderstanding. People today are not more intelligent compared to people then. People are people, and programmers in the 1950s had to be extremely clever.

Especially that our field foundations wasn’t shaken to the core in the last 70 years, when around the century there was a huge change in understanding.. everything. Gödel, Turing machines, Chomsky, Halting theorem, etc. That we no longer has to fit into 3 megabytes and thus can write some monster abstractions is not fundamentally different at all.
