No, AI didn't write code. A program explicitly built and trained to write code, wrote code.
A bit too pedantic, perhaps, but there isn't some singular program out there which first learned to play chess, then see and catalog pictures, create creepy art, play Go, drive cars, and now write code. Which is what "AI learns to X" seems to imply.
Of course, that's not as interesting of a headline.
