The problem is both (1) knowing what you want, and (2) specifying what you want.

(1) is hard enough and a necessary prerequisite to (2) which, even so, is even harder than (1).

Good, documented software is the accumulated knowledge of people who (1) knew what they wanted, (2) implemented it, and (3) communicated how it works. AI can ease the building of such software but does not make the process trivial.

I don't believe your last sentence at all -- especially if we're talking about "bespoke software for individuals."

I strongly predict it will be trivial.
