I call BS.
Okay, this situation might actually be feasible for simple applications, but at its current state, I question the AI's ability to maintain apps that grow in complexity.
I look forward to it being a productivity tool, but anything that's complicated, (enterprise apps, caching layers, database indexing) AI can't solve at least for the next 10 years.
AI cant invent, it can only derive or create from existing code. Cant tell the AI.. create the code that will grant me time travel powers. Probably wont work. These people just use it to copy and put together. I want my app to look like this app, runs like this other app, but it is to sell polka dot socks. Its just 1 step above templates.
99% of programming can be distilled down to templates. The AI just puts those templates together far quicker than the best human programmer.
The other 99% of programming is interpreting functional requirements. There's always going to need to be someone out there capable of breaking down a system into manageable, interoperating chunks that produce a working "program," even if the tools we use to generate a "program" change drastically.
