Every time you don’t write the script you lose a little of the ability to do so.

Just like if you don’t read you will lose the ability to.

These skills are not innate to us and can be forgotten over time.

I wonder if it will get to the point where people don’t even know what to ask for. Or how to judge if what the machine produces could have been better. Or if it does what they think it does.

Yes, sadly, coding is a skill that can and (before long) will be forgotten by all but a niche dedicated few. It will go the way of assembly language, smith-ing, weaving, bread-baking, meat- / fish-gutting, hunting, remembering phone numbers, driving manual (and, before long, driving in human mode), hand-writing, horse-riding, wood-chopping... you get the picture. The price of progress!

Joke's on you, I never knew how to write bash.

This is wholly untrue.
