AI driven anything these days doesn't show a lot of promise from my observations. Getting any voice activated service to do basic things requires speaking like you are programming and even then its hit or miss. How long have those services been around? I don't anticipate much progress in 5-10 years. Sure a Hello World app might be do-able by AI but any complex business logic is going to be done incorrectly. I work on Rails and how many times do I use scaffolding? small prototypes is about it and those don't live long. There are lots of developers that don't like IDE's, like myself. I've been burned way too many times by them doing things I didn't intend. Unless it delivers on all its hopes and promises, AI tools will end up being a neat trick and then be a distraction. There are some shops that use bleeding edge stuff and then there are probably like 90% of shops that stick with what works. Think of all the software developers working at banks, insurance companies, Fortune 500, etc. In 5-10 years developers will mostly still be doing the same things they are doing today.
