No, because if you read your SICP you will come across the aphorism that "programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute."

Now tell that to your compiler, which turns instructions in a relatively high-level language into machine-language programs that no human will ever read.

AI is just the next logical stage in the same evolutionary journey. Your programs will be easier to read than they were, because they will be written in English. Your code, on the other hand, will matter as much as your compiler's x86 or ARM output does now: not at all, except in vanishingly-rare circumstances.
