You say that sharing the software is the ultimate goal, but you're using that argument to justify not sharing your software. That's hard for me to understand.

I also don't think that just because you have to ask AI to write the software, free software will die. Because people don't understand their own requirements, I don't think we're going to get to a place where AI can one-shot, even moderately complex software, and so creating software will continue to be some effort. I fully expect that the norm will become that we give away free software and expect other people to pick it up and tune it to their own needs with their AI. But that doesn't mean that free software is dead. It means it evolves.

What do you consider "moderately complex software"?

		Something where the person that is going to be using it can't easily define the full set of requirements in one go because they're going to need to interact with it first, and subsequent requirements will emerge after use. The limitation in this case will not be the AI's ability to implement what was requested. It will be the human's ability to articulate what success looks like.
