The problem with this is that, just like visual programming, it doesn’t really do the hard parts.

I remember hearing “a million monkeys with a million type writers writing for a million years could write Shakespeare”. Sure, but how would they know it? How could they recognize when they have achieved their goal?

ML will lower the bar for the trivial tedious things and let people believe they are more capable than they are. Even with ML you will have to know what to ask and what the answer should be. That is always the hard part.



Automating the easy parts does give you more time to work on hard things, though.
