If you aren't paying attention to how AI is impacting software development, you are missing the biggest paradigm shift and a direct competitor to GT. It's much more than GenAI and chat

AI can use tools, including everything GT can use. MCP is an emerging "standard" for how to make tools available to AI

I am not sure why you are saying that I am not paying attention to how AI is impacting software development. I just pointed you to a chapter that shows that it's not a competitor at all. Moldable Development and GenAI are complementary :)

In GT, we have integration with LLMs as well, including programatic ways to create interfaces for it.

MCP is certainly interesting.

GT and AI are direct competitors because both want to be the primary interface people use to develop through / with

AI is also moldable development

If you had to ask what AI tool usage is, then you have missed significant aspects of the shift

No, AI is not Moldable Development. AI can help Moldable Development (mostly as an optimization).

Moldable Development is first and foremost about the interface. AI is an engine. The interface is the thing you interact through. Like the chat. Or the editor with chat abilities. That little layer is worth paying attention to. Because it will define how you think about your interactions with AI.

Rather rigid thinking in your response(s), but I'm not surprised after this thread. I'd invite you to think more flexibly about what the interface to moldable development can be (note the lowercasing). AI is generally becoming the primary interface for all things, chat is just one medium, but definitely not the only one. It can/will be able to do all the same things that one could do in GT, plus a whole lot more.

I am glad that AI provides what you are looking for.

I'd still be interested if you have a specific point you disagree with in relation to what I wrote above and in particular, what we wrote in our little book (the link is above) specifically about the topic of this conversation.
