Not always, but can be

I thought we were supposed to reach AGI since like, the 1970s. Every time there's an advancement in AI, there's always speculations that "robot gonna take our jobs in 10 years".

That said, at least we have reached the phase where AI tools are commercialized, so that's another +1 I guess.

Aren't that basically all those web framework that we've been using (except that it's worse and less maintainable)?

The code generated is very hard to be maintained by human unless you're very knowledgeable and knows what specific things to change (since generally we only interact on framework level unless there's some specific requirements, like how the author proposed to "modify the prompt" instead of the generated code)

That said, I don't think that the so called "prompt based" cough cough engineering is viable at current state, or anytime soon.

At least using a framework like React would expose these HTML blocks to the typechecker.

Hmm, yep you have a point there
