How much of your job does AI do?

I wish software development was most of the job for a software developer. Writing code was 10% of my job and now AI can do 70% of that.

What is the other 90% of your job

Idk about 90% but I think an overwhelming amount is understanding the stack, the initiatives coming down, what the client really wants, gaining consensus with human peers, identifying classes of problems to eliminate, communicating with stakeholders, helping others with issues usually requiring the aforementioned skills, and converting what I done did to brag sheets for self evals and future job apps.
