This is awesome, scary and very interesting. But, for me, it comes with a personal concern:

For some time I've been giving serious thought about an automated web service generator. Given a data model and information about the data (relationships, intents, groupings, etc.) output a fully deployable service. From unit tests through container definitions, and everything I can think of in-between (docs, OpenAPI spec, log forwarder, etc.)

So far, while my investment hasn't been very large, I have to ask myself: "Is it worth it?"

Watching this AI code generation stuff closely, I've been telling myself the story that the AI-generated code is not "provable". A deterministic system (like I've been imagining) would be "provable". Bugs or other unintended consequences would be directly traceable to the code generator itself. With AI code generation, there's no real way to know for sure (currently).

Some leading questions (for me) come down to:

1. Are the sources used by the AI's learning phase trustworthy? (e.g. When will models be sophisticated enough to be trained to avoid some potentially problematic solutions?)

2. How would an AI-generated solution be maintained over time? (e.g. When can AI prompt + context be saved and re-used later?)

3. How is my (potentially proprietary) solution protected? (e.g. When can my company host a viable trained model in a proprietary environment?)"

I want to say that my idea is worth it because the answers to these questions are (currently) not great (IMO) for the AI-generated world.

But, the world is not static. At some point, AI code generators will be 10x or 100x more powerful. I'm confident that, at some point, these code generators will easily surpass my 20+ years of experience. And, company-hosted, trained AI models will most likely happen. And context storage and re-use will (by demand) find a solution. And trust will eventually be accomplished by "proof is in the pudding" logic.

Basically, barring laws governing AI, my project doesn't stand a cold chance in hell. I knew this would happen at some point, but I was thinking more like a 5-10 year timeframe. Now, I realize, it could be 5-10 months.
