I think this is overly optimistic. As of right now, no AI model understands software at the system level. You cannot even get ChatGPT to understand the tradeoffs of a fork based TCP server and a multithreaded TCP server.

It's very good at doing things humans can do creatively, like image generation or creative writing, but SaaS solves system level problems, not generative problems.
