And it kind of was a problem. There was an underclass of people who simply could not get anything done if it wasn't already done for them in a Stackoverflow answer or a blog post or (more recently and bafflingly) a Youtube video. These people never learned to read a manual and spent their days flailing around wondering why programming seemed so hard for them.
Now with AI there will be more of these people, and they will make it farther in their careers before their lack of ability will be noticeable by hiring managers.
