> Sure, and who is supposed to understand the code written by AI when we retire?

Why someone would need to? Do the product/business people who order creating something understand how it is done and what is Git, a webserver etc.? It is based on trust and if you can show the AI system can consistently achieve at least humanlike quality and speed on almost any development task then there is no need to have a technical person in the loop.

So there could never be a new provider or a new protocol because AI wouldn't be able to use them or create them.

You can just make websites on pre-approved list.

On what do you base this? Is there some upper bound to the potential in AI reasoning that bounds it skill to creating anything more complex? I think it is on the contrary - it is humans who are bound by our biological and evolutionary hard limits, the machine is not.

Show me 2 AIs talking to each other and agreeing on a protocol and successfully both implementing it on their side in a way that it works then.

Where did I say that is the current state of its capabilities? My argument was about the future and the perspective on its skills.

If we are writing a scifi novel, sure.

If we mean that the current way of doing things will lead to that… I have strong doubts.
