AI won't replace software devs for a key reason.

The hardest part about writing software is the requirements & specifications.

Some ambiguous thoughts rendered as an LLM prompt is neither.

The output will only be as precise as the input allows.

I'm not sure that it won't be able to come up with specifications in the future. However, the day it is capable to that extent, AI will eat most other jobs. Except maybe that of surgeons, live performers and prostitutes.

The tech only ever gets better. It never gets worse.

The question is: how long until AI can handle the requirements and the specifications?

Months? Years? Decades?
