I wrote a long comment detailing why I think this won’t work at all, certainly not in the next five years. But I realized that the article isn’t that far off, it just got one detail wrong. If the imagined future comes to be, Apps don’t make sense as a concept anymore. If we have AI that can generate an app for any use case that I might have, then we also have AI that can just do the thing. No need for bespoke interfaces.

That is a future I find much more reasonable. But looking at the state of AI Assistants today I still have a very hard time believing that this will come to be in the next 5 years. But in 20 years? Sure, why not.
