I've done some thinking about what the "AI-ification" of apps might look like too, and I can think of a few situations where replacing rigid code/schemas with squishy AI logic may not fully work:
- Contention: a formal logic and ruleset helps parties with conflicting motives to coordinate with each other, and prevents corruption/manipulation (think of law and treaties)
- Extreme safety/reliability: AI cars never took off even though they were 90% of the way there. Thinking also of medical devices, financial ledgers, etc; things where you can't take chances, and you may even need to be able to produce an audit
- Performance: I'm imagining that traditional code will always be faster and cheaper to run than AI inference. The classic tradeoff between development cost and runtime cost will come into play, and eg. realtime systems will probably always need to be "real code" (though maybe we'll just reach a point where AI is writing said code instead of responding in real time)
I think it's going to change most of the landscape though. And to be honest - societal and career anxieties aside - part of me is ready for the world where computers aren't so fiddly anymore.
