AI will beat humans at all tasks that are not subjective (such as a landing page being pretty), but instead can be determined to be correct or not (does an endpoint return the correct data? how fast?)
Just like a chess engine beats any human.
People think LLMs are still at the point of programming based on what they learned from the data they scraped. We're well past that. We're at the point of heavy reinforcement learning. LLMs will train on billions of LoC of synthetic code they generate, like chess engines train on self-play games.
Chess has a very specific win condition by which moves can be assessed. Many real world problems are much fuzzier than that and don't reduce neatly to algorithmic validation of 'correctness'.
That's the breakthrough of ML, it can handle fuzzy. And chess is in some ways similar. Outside of endgame and blunders (where you can just bruteforce), you can't prove one move is superior to another. That's why chess engines used to have human made heuristics.
