Which is very scary: we are modelling things after nature and ourselves with our own information: this makes LLMs sometimes eerie human and thus fallible. So when you say there will be no more software, I think you are saying that some future ai/AGI will perform the work without it coding that work. So instead of writing code xy it will just ‘do’ xy ‘in its head’ and use the answer for the rest of ‘the problem’ it is solving. That is going to be just as terrible as humans doing the same thing: they will, ever so often, make mistakes and if you see a ‘program’ as being 100000s of these decisions every run, this will be terrible.
Now it is possible we will come up with some AI that does not have this issue, but we don’t even have a plan of attack on how to create that; I am your age and I am going to say we are both dead before it happens. However, because a lot of companies like terrible ideas if they save money (support chat bots is an example), surely this domain will be tested with the short term generations of AIs.
