Re^5: a nifty utility script from chatgpt

I think the paradigm of reusable components /modules will stay.

No matter how cheap something is produced you'll still want to maximize the ROI.

A plastic cup might be much cheaper than a wooden cup, but only if it's mass produced. This requires an investment.

You won't easily throw a component away after the effort to show that it's bug free.

So maintainability will still be an issue.

My 2 cents.

Update

Additionally, a big part of my last job was to translate the fuzzy requirements of my clients into programmed tools which fit their internal processes.

Imagine an AI spitting out new tools on a daily basis. Do you also expect the users and processes to adapt on a daily basis?

yes, thanks for your 2 cents. In the AI future there will be some constants, surely. But most things will adapt to the AI. I mean who irons their shirts still? "bug free" i guess is such a constant, but perhaps it will not be that expensive anymore. Also, a big question is whether there will be one AI (entity) or many? I mean ownership of components by one entity or many entities competing. Either there will be a lot of standardisation of specs and recycling of components or there will be Hell. If they are trained with M$'s board meetings transcripts then all points to Hell hehe
