Malleable software. This all reminds me of personal computing in 80's with BASIC in every machine, and environments like Emacs that are built for that.

I think LLMs have a much better chance at this kind of software than Emacs or BASIC, but I also doubt it has any future: once AI is capable enough, you can just hide the programmatic layer entirely and tell the computer what to do.
