LLM tools can already write basic code and will likely improve a lot, but there are more reasons to learn to code than to actually do coding yourself. Even just to be able to understand and verify the shit the AI tools spit out before pushing it live.
Nvidia knows that the more people who use AI tools, the more their hardware sells. They benefit directly from people not being able to code themselves or relying more on AI tools.
They want their magic line to keep going up. That’s all.

LLMs do most of their processing on GPUs using platforms like CUDA, which is an Nvidia product. Nvidia stands to make a lot of money off of CUDA and ML hardware.
Nvidia makes some of the best hardware for training AI models. Increased investment in AI will inevitably increase demand for Nvidia hardware. It may boost other hardware makers too, but Nvidia is getting the biggest boost by far.
Maybe I’m being dumb or missing something but this feels incredibly obvious to me.
