Funny that you say that. If AI writes code, it should be Ruby, because it's shorter and easier to read. I'm making a site and love ChatGPTs Ruby code.

PS: Any Microsoft people here? Ruby could be 10x faster on Windows, if we figure out how to load files faster! https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19325#note-11

Ah I meant if the AI is so capable in writing code there won't be any need for a human to read the code anymore. The "code" will be a bunch of english requirements, like an essay describing the program. Its unclear what language ChatGPT would use in that case (and who cares if the human is no longer important?).

If an AI were meant to write code it would be Python. That is english with very few syntactic sugar mainly parens and colons.

Unless the result wouldn't be meant to be read nor understood by anyone.

IMHO Python is the closest to pseudo-code specifications.
