So it begins! AI is going to permeate an increasing amount of existing software. Eventually, all software will have some form of intelligence built into it.

And hence no new features will ever be created, since training is only on existing code!

These AIs can generate new features, it’s much more powerful than copy pasting existing text snippets.

It’s just one I picked randomly, I didn’t feel like doing a literature review.

A citation isn't needed. Thousands of programmers right now are using AI in every step of the process, from feature design to implementation to testing.

1. Put a computer in everything

2. Connect all the computers to the Internet

3. Gather all the data from all the computers

4. Train machine learning models to automate some tasks <- you are here

5. Gather data about automation initiatives

6. Train machine learning models to learn how to automate automation

Automate everything and make all human activity irrelevant

Programmers ask the AI how to fix itself, when it has a bug.
