The value is in the same place: solving people's problems. Now that the code is cheaper (not free quite yet) skills further up the abstraction chain become more valuable. Programming and design skills are less valuable. However, you st

But that's total nonsense. Everything in our physical world (including water, air, food, and human bodies) is made of chemicals. They can be naturally occurring or artificially manufactured.
