• Abstract: This paper delves into the evolving relationship between humans and computers in the realm of programming. Historically, programming has been a dialogue where humans meticulously crafted communication to suit machine understanding, shaping the trajectory of computer science education. However, the advent of AI-based no-code platforms is revolutionizing this dynamic. Now, humans can converse in their natural language, expecting machines to interpret and act. This shift has profound implications for computer science education. As educators, it's imperative to integrate this new dynamic into curricula. In this paper, we've explored several pertinent research questions in this transformation, which demand continued inquiry and adaptation in our educational strategies.

  Current software systems are static and inflexible, leading to challenges in translating human goals into computational actions. "Living software systems" powered by generative AI offer a solution to this fundamental problem in computing. Generative AI, particularly large language models, can serve as a universal translator between human intent and computer operations.

  Generative AI (GenAI) and large language models in particular, are disrupting Computer Science Education. Some educators argue that they pose a serious threat to computing education, and that we should ban their use in the classroom. We argue that our programming abstractions were always headed here -- to natural language.
