ELON: THERE WILL BE NO CODE WRITING IN THE FUTURE

So one night I was bored and said to Grok, hey Grok! Program a browser based baseball game like the one I used to play when I was a kid, using a metal spinner and a disc (that’s basically a circle graph showing the different possibilities) like Home Run, Strike Out, etc.

Grok did. I messed with it for a bit and it did a decent job. It spit out the code, I dropped it in a folder on my PC, navigated my browser to it, and boom – there it was.

It’s still important to understand how coding works, and if the AI is screwing up you can help troubleshoot the problem if you understand. But yeah – in 5 years there probably won’t be many people sitting around writing scripts and programs!

    A bit further out, there literally won’t be code (written by AI or people):

    Elon Musk’s post suggests a future where neural networks bypass traditional coding, directly mapping input bitstreams (e.g., commands, data) to output bitstreams (e.g., pixels, sounds, robot actions), aligning with recent advancements like Neuralink’s 2019 rat experiments showing brain-computer interfaces can process complex signals.

    This vision challenges the 2025 coding boom seen in posts like Paul Graham’s, where AI boosts human productivity (e.g., 10,000 lines/day), as Musk predicts a shift to AI-driven systems, supported by IBM’s 2025 research on neural networks evolving beyond human-written code through multimodal data integration.

    Multimodal AI, as defined by IBM’s 2025 study, supports Musk’s idea by enabling systems to handle text, images, and audio seamlessly, with early evidence from Gauntlet AI’s fully AI-coded projects in Austin, hinting at a potential paradigm shift in software development.
