>With AI, the new evolution in software is to skip the "telling what to do" part and directly specifying the goal - "telling what to get done" and let the system figure it out. Not exactly. Writing software has always been "telling computers what to do". Using AI to do this doesn't change much. In the very early days (after CPUs were invented), you told the computer what you wanted to do with CPU instructions directly, so you had to figure out how to manage memory and all other tedious things needed to get your program to work. Later, higher-level languages were developed to abstract the complexity of the hardware away, so you could tell the computer what you wanted in higher-level terms without so many low-level details. An AI tool just takes this to another level.
