The real path forward is recognizing what AI is good at and what it is bad at. Focus on making what it is good at even better and faster. Open AI will definitely give us that option but it isn't a miracle worker.

My impression is that AI if done correctly will be the new way to build APIs with large data sets and information. It can't write code unless you want to dump billions of dollars into a solution with millions of dollars of operational costs. As it stands it loses context too quickly to do advance human tasks. BUT this is where it is great at assembling data and information. You know what is great at assembling data and information? APIs.

Think of it this way if we can make it faster and it trains on a datalake for a company it could be used to return information faster than a nested micro-service architecture that is just a spiderweb of dependencies.

Because AI loses context simple API requests could actually be more efficient.
