Completely disagree that "software development, as it has been done for decades, is over".

AI is a useful tool, agreed - but it will always be reliant upon humans writing code.

Let's take a very simple example to prove my point. Let's say that everybody is now using AI to write code, and someone develops a new programming language with it. Cool! We have a new language now.

What we don't have, however, are any examples of how that programming language is used. Nothing that the AI can learn from.

How well do you think AI is going to handle being able to code in this new language which doesn't appear at all in its training data?
