It's kind of vague. It would be better if he used a concrete example to illustrate how AI help programming.

Actually the examples in the text are quite concrete - the few lines would be everything you'd have to write to get such a site working (modulo a bit of http plumbing). Obviously we are nowhere near such a thing. The rest of the text acts as a bit of a pointer what could help to get there.

From my other comment (in this case the example was an amazon like shopping site):

> The thing I would like to get working is telling the net "here is a ton of different buttons, grids, lists and a lot of other UI stuff, and there are all our products - I want to maximize revenue - do whatever you like to get there".

The way of telling a neural network these things would be these few lines of code which would hook up different parts to get it working.

You're gonna have to make a clear distinction between web dev project configuration, and AI for making good choices that optimize meeting sales and marketing goals.

How is your 'project codebase markup' any different from filling in some radio buttons on a template generator or a CMS?
