The "some work" phrase is doing a lot of work for you here. It can easily take them 100 years as well and they will get broke long before. I see nothing in the original article that doesn't strike me as the techno-optimism of the 1960s where people made movies and books saying "It's the year 2003 and the humanity is exploring the vast depths of the Universe". So again, it's a very plain old boring techno-optimism. I am sure they can automate some work (like scaffold a certain CRUD part of the app) but there are always nuances and specifics and the current generation AI has so far proven inadequate in catching those and taking proper care of them.
