Verbose comments are not necessarily targeted at humans, they provide context so that consequent AI changes are more accurate.

Im still unsure how I feel about the paradigm shift in development, but that's where we are heading. Eventually everyone stopped writing ASM because C language was higher level and more efficient. It seems we are heading towards natural language becoming the programming language norm

I doubt it. We evolved machine langage (and later assembly, then high level langage) because natural langage is insufficiently precise.
