According to the report from the Nikkei Asian Review website on February 14th, driven by artificial intelligence, programming automation is rapidly developing. In terms of source code generation, even top engineers find it difficult to surpass the latest AI technologies introduced by OpenAI and Anthropic. More and more people believe that the entire software development process will soon be automated, with AI having the ability to self-improve and continuously enhance its performance. Elon Musk, the American entrepreneur, pointed out in a video released on February 11th that by the end of this year, we may no longer need programming as AI will directly write binary code. He predicts that as AI technology continues to advance, humanity's reliance on programming languages will gradually weaken. Although Musk's statement may sound extreme, the trend of handing over source code writing work to AI is rapidly developing.
