I have a hard time believing that AI models will become the environments that software runs in, because they're not performant, reliable or maintainable the way Node, JVM, binaries, web browsers etc are. Or standards compliant. Nor do they have the same kind of access to the hardware these environments have. And short of software running directly on models, I don't see how programming is going to be completely automated away from humans. And even if you can make models competitive with traditional software environments, I don't forsee managers and CEOs spending their days prompting the AIs to produce the right kind of code their customers don't know they need. They will pay prompt programmers to do that instead.
