If you give up on doing the work necessary to understand what is and is not critically important, you are no longer competent or responsible.
At that point the roles have switched and you are the mindless drone, toiling to serve AI.

I don't agree with that. If I want to add two numbers I'd like to write `a = b + c`. I do not want to write the machine code that effects the same result on whatever computer architecture I'm targeting. Precisely _how_ one adds two numbers is accidental complexity. Whether they need to be added, and what numbers should be added, is essential complexity.
Fortran removed that accidental complexity and left the essential stuff in place. There were no fuzzy lines.
But the way you've stated it, as long as you're pointing your microscope at one thing, that thing is "essential" and every other thing in the world is "inessential".
