Average people aren't going to be writing their own software, even with AI tools. They will use AI tools to achieve goals directly and perhaps it will write software in the background (but that would be an implementation detail).

Yes, thanks, that's what I meant / was trying to say. They want to do X on their computer and formerly they would have had to purchase software to do so; in the future perhaps they will instead ask the AI tool to do X and it will write whatever code is needed to do X. This will work well enough until it doesn't (which is where the "premium" market for handcrafted special-purpose tools might continue to thrive).
