“Wirth’s Law” stated that software gets slower as hardware becomes faster. 

Perhaps we’re in store for new law: software becomes less readable as AI becomes smarter. No need to write clean code when AI can explain it to humans.

We might be on the precipice of shitty code for the next decade until coding itself fundamentally changes.

I wholeheartedly agree, especially w/ neuromorphic chips. even with transformers, I don't think we've seen an upper limit for nesting them within each other, where the most optimal processes are operations performed over many vector spaces. AI may likely explain many rules & many phenomenal models to itself.
