Creating massive amounts of semi-structured data is the missing layer? I can see an argument for that if you're a non-programmer who wants to create something. Although, at some point, it's a form of programming.

As a developer, I would rather just write the code and let AI write the semi-structured data that explains it. Creating reams of flow charts and stories just so an AI can build something properly sounds like hell to me.

Well yeah, that's why businesses have all those other employees. :)

I'm still trying to understand what this whole thread and blog post are about. Is HN finally seeing the light that AI doesn't replace people? Sure if you're determined enough you can run a business all by yourself, but this was always true. I guess AI can make information more accessible, but so does a search engine, and before that so did books.
