AI is not just any one thing. In the grand view, looking ahead a hundred years, AI will seem like it embedded itself in everything everywhere all at once. AI will take the hardest effort to embed itself in lower-level high-efficiency systems such as the OS kernel, but even there, it makes its presence known by code generation.

Yes, AI as an information interface is still an underrated and underused idea despite us having seen it function over the past couple of years. The question then is, what's the best LLM driven frontend that could be an alternative to React or Django or Laravel, etc.? It would be used to serve a customer-facing application.

The biggest hurdle I'm personally struggling with now as a software engineer trying to find the motivation to continue writing code and developing products isn't simply that AI is getting better and better at writing more complex code and doing more of my job for me (though it certainly doesn't help), but more importantly that it will soon do away with entire classes and categories of desktop, web, and mobile applica…

That’s valid but in the bigger picture, our jobs will be evolved not seize to exist. I dont think that an average person will be able to interact with AI to build functional systems. At least not in the near future.

To add to the comment, going forward, in terms of UIs, it makes sense for them to be agents interacting with agents in a loose sense of what it means to be an agent.
