We've already figured out how to get AI to do things for us, and it does a pretty good job at it. There's probably even people out there who run their whole life with AI agents, using it to run businesses for them and such.
But what if AI could help define your vision? When I first started playing around with Claude Code a few months ago, I didn't really understand what it took to use AI as a devtool successfully; I wouldn't be verbose enough, and as a result the final product (whether it was a UI or backend feature) was an utterly mangled version of what I wanted in the first place. In the past, I narrowed down my vision for designs and projects as I went, making decisions on the fly. I'd have a little inkling of an idea and just start building towards it, without any real thought as to what the final product might look like. When Claude Code arrived, though, I finally had to overcome my inability to "zoom out" and describe the bigger picture to a third party.
I think that if AI tools, especially general-purpose devtools like Claude Code and Codex, knew how to ask the right questions before taking action, the barrier to entry would be so much lower. Right now, it seems like the only way for your vision to be perfectly executed is to have the technical know-how to be able to use jargon to be super precise about what it is that you want. By figuring out how to identify gaps in someone's description of a product and pry for better, deeper answers, I think everyone will be empowered to make things that they actually care about without as much of a learning curve.
Just my 2 cents.
