Strongly disagree. The "magic" interface will be a machine that understands verbal instructions well enough to convert them into logic, figure out which cases are undefined and non-obvious, and then ask clarifying questions. I'm not saying we'll necessarily get there in 10 years, but barring civilizational collapse we should get there in n years. It's both useful and theoretically possible, so we will eventually build it.

- empath75 8y agoSure when we have general intelligence they can do the coding, but those people won’t be doing coding any more than the guy submitting a feature request in Jira is doing coding.
- blotter_paper 8y agoGeneral AI isn't necessarily necessary for this, though it could be what brings it. And I suppose I never compile anything since I don't do it by hand? Why bark when you have a script?
