It isn’t an improved version of autocomplete though, it allows you to submit a design / image and output code. Narrowing the gap between designer and developer.

What is your argument exactly? What's morally wrong with automation?

Don't get me wrong. There are many good arguments against AI but claiming we don't need more automation is one I don't understand, so please enlighten me.

For me it boils down to the reduction of jobs, pay and displacement of workers. Industry is already over saturated and the evolution of automation has sped up greatly. This type of automation goes hand in hand with displacement. I don’t foresee some great enlightenment at the end of the tunnel here, I see the end of development as it looks today. And I don’t think it will have any resemblance of the past.
Everything will be worse, slower, more poorly designed and even well less understood?
