That's a good analogy. I'm on team hand tools to power tools too.

Why do you suppose that these tools will conveniently stop improving at some point that increases your productivity but are still too much for your clients to use for themselves?

Because I've seen how difficult it is to get a client to explain to me what they need their software to do.

And so the AI will develop the skills to interview the client and determine what they really need. There are textbooks written on how to do this, it's not going to be hard to incorporate into the training.
