Interesting question. We also heard about how "apps" were going to disappear, and we'd have an "AI" driven slurry that configured itself intelligently to whatever the task at hand required. Or in the alternative, a flood of really great and helpful "apps" would flood app stores, all vibe coded by non-technical people who had really great ideas. I myself wonder why we still have compilers, VMs and interpreters. Shouldn't "AI" produce a kind of object oriented, strictly typed, functional, array language PHP, where a developer could write whatever kind of syntax(es) in whatever mode. "AI" would just figure it out on the fly.
The answer to all of this not happening is that "AI" isn't that good, of course, and we're being sold a bill of goods.
