It's not a matter of whether it surpasses me. In some respects it already has - I watch Claude Code spitting out long terminal commands that I've never even seen in my 15 year career.

The question is whether AI will ever become good enough to magically infer information where none is provided.

For instance, I've had this startup idea for an itemized physical storage company. We'll never reach a point where I can simply say "Hey AI, create all the software necessary for an itemized physical storage company". It's not because AI won't continue to improve, it's because there's literally not enough detail in that statement to understand what I mean. It's too vague. I'm sure the AI of tomorrow could do a pretty good job in guessing what I mean by it, but the chance of it capturing my vision is literally 0%.
