I think at this point it's software devs looking for the value unlock.

Non-software devs are actually making functional programs for themselves for the first time ever. The value is crazy.

It’s not the first time ever. People did the same with Access and HyperCard in the 90s.

Sure but I'm the real world do you think businesses are going to deploy piles of code into production generated this way? No, non technical people will continue to whip up MS PowerApps. AI generated code has no value to many businesses.

The value of AI is not in generating code. That's just a "nice-to-have."

The value of AI is in having a scalable, human-like decision maker that you can plug into anything, anywhere. This has unlocked countless use cases for my team, that we could scarcely imagine a few years ago.

"Human-like decision maker" except it's just as if not more unpredictable than a human, has no understanding of what it's actually outputting or the impact of it, and it isn't concerned with losing their job or facing legal repercussions for their actions.

You don't need production level code to make your life easier.

You're missing the forest for the trees. Most people can't even make a block diagram, but they can explain what they have and what they want to do with it.

I think the market reveals itself. Perhaps you're right, but it's been years, and where's the value? No offense, and it might seem cool to build an app, but that's been possible for decades.
