It is funny how the AI based app generation tools can, theoretically,
automagically wire up all sorts of libraries and languages in order to
create some system.

Like, why don't we *actually* ever have software *components* that we
can actually plug together? It drives me bleedin' crazy how much
stupid complexity absolutely everything has, just for even trying to
install, configured, build, release, let alone having the time to get
around to actual coding of the features.

If the AIs can paper over that, then I guess that is actually the best
of all possible worlds, at least as far as we are allowed in our
universe. Heaven knows that humans on their own will never get around
to making code be actually usable.

The AI based code creation / editing tools all fail to have enough UI
UX so they become too much of a black box that the user has to fight
with via "natural" language. I have day dreams of much better
interactivity, much more of a pair programming UI UX. I wonder how
much I can try to use an AI based app generation system to build that
kind of UI?
