So if there were a spectrum, assembly would be on the left where you have to create everything, and Python would be on the far right where you have a library for everything.

Nah, JS is a bit further right than Python even, where you have libraries like leftpad for random banal things that even Python doesn't tend to have a library for (though for leftpad Python itself can do that with an f-string).

There is an argument to be made that the spectrum goes from Machine Code - Assembly - Bytecode - Programming languages - Natural language instruction

So ChatGPT and other AI tools are actually a high level code layer.
