Most of these are really just 10 lines of python code. The value of generating an entire HTML with GUI is great but then the overhead comes in when you need to modify it or fix something or god forbid add a dependency library and you end up spending more time than actually building the tool from scratch. It's getting close though.
- vasco 2y agoHow many google results amount to this level of complexity though? How many phone apps? Anyone taking bets on how many years till the operating system doesn't install any software anymore, and just dynamically generates whatever software you need on the fly? "Give me a calculator app" is doable today "give me an internet browser" isn't but it should be a matter of time.

If the user requesting to solve a solved task then using an existing tool will always be a more efficient path. What I do see as a desired option is where AI could take an existing tool and personalize it to your specific use case. In this example it takes web browser as a GUI lib and wraps it around generic solutions like library that quotes HTML entities which is kinda this just very poorly done so far. I'd imagine that future programs will be much more component driven with AI connecting components to produce personalized solutions as this is really the only viable option until AI can reason at least in some reasonable capacity to fix its own mistakes.
