Have you seen college-level writing at most US schools? It's pretty abysmal if they're not some sort of English major. And the AI doesn't have to write blandly if you prompt it well.
The overwhelming majority of Americans I've met in education, business, and everyday life cannot write well. It's just not something that's emphasized in our educational system. Hell, education itself isn't very emphasized...
> And, can you be a digital native, and not program at least some?
What do you mean? Digital native just means they grew up with smartphones, social media, apps, creators, influencers, etc. And in the workforce, there are many digital professionals who don't necessarily code: management, UX, sales, marketing, PMs, QA, 3D artists, etc.
Coding is just a particular skillset involving tech, but there are rich YouTubers, streamers, musicians, and whatnot who've made a living despite not having written a single line. I think coding is just going to become another trade skill, while the ability to use digital media for mass persuasion remains as powerful as it's always been... the gifted charismatic extroverts don't need to code, they just need to communicate. But very little effective communication happens by long-form writing anymore. A video or tweet goes much further.
