I was listening to an interview with Grady Booch. A great man who had a big influence on software architecture through Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications. A fundamental book for beginning my career.
The interview represents my vision on AI:
AI is just a tool, nothing more. Booch compared to compilers, and I agree with him. We provide instructions on what we want, and the LLM assembles and compiles something more explicitly than I would write. I still need to test it and run it properly.
Without verification, we can't be sure that AI creates what we want.
AI is the next level of abstraction, like compilers that translate C and assembly into machine code.
As AI churns out more software and more bugs, there is a need for more developers to tame it.
