AI companies are positioning themselves as "the everything machine"
The vast majority of software written today is "capture data -> transform data (optional) -> display data nicely formatted and easily accessible"
If an AI can wire into your database to retrieve the data in the format you want, then a bunch of the job is done
If the AI can also be made to present a form to users to capture the data in the first place, then almost all of the job is done
These are huge IFs. I remain skeptical that we'll reach this level soon. But if we do, the software industry is gonna tank
The AI industry will grow. Maybe.
