> If you'd rather build software in English than in a programming language, then you don't really want to build software at all. To be clear, 99.99% of the market for the results of software does not, in fact, "want to build software at all". Normals don't want to build an app, they want "an app for that" and can't find one. Those are very different wants. Sounds as though OpenAI is going after the more common want. If they succeed, they won't need luck. // Effectively, an OpenAI "ProdGPT" could play PdM (product manager), with immediate build/release iterations, which help the person wanting an app iteratively clarify their thoughts (especially the "I'll know it when I see it" types. Now the user could just converse and converge from skeleton concept to "that's it!" in one ProdGPT convo, because the iteration loop is fast. The conversation to figure out what someone wants is the hard part, success would shorten that loop.

These Normals usually want a button "make it good", however they can't come up with the definition of what "good" means and for whom it is. I have no doubt that coders will be replaced with AI soon. Sooner then anyone here anticipate. However I would charge like $100 per minute for a job of translating wishes of these oblivious idiots into requests to AI. But this would not going to happen. There will be gazillions of jobless coders who will charge $7.5 per hour just to have a job, and they will continue to produce shit-code with AI, but now cheaper then ever.

  Heh, this sounds like the description of a genie. "You will get exactly what you wish for" --warning label on the lamp.

You'll think it's because of their newfound reliance on AI, but in reality, it's just that you're just a horrible person to work with compared to an AI model.
