> Computer programs are some of the most structured data. And it's available abundantly out in the open. This is the same Fallacy that we hear since 50 years. All Program requirements are almost the same, just reuse and adapt an existing one. Guess why it has never worked? Because the premise is false. Structured data for X is not optimal for Y (and can be even very wrong). Apart from the "personal blog software", everything else has various needs of accountability. AI Black box approach is not suitable for any of these so you have to manually verify the code. Veryfing code that you are not familiar with especially in complex interactions is much more difficult that writing it (from this comes the often "rewrite from scratch request", because institutional knowledge has been lost, imagine how much worse it is if this knowledge has never been there in the first place). Finally and the most important one, all AI models rely on learning, if there is noone to learn from all you get is stagnation. Most of the breakthroughs come from a complete reimagining of the solution space. If the solution space is fixed because "AI has substituted all Engineers" there is no going forward.
