The path I see is I just ask for the functionality and AI builds it from scratch. No need for other people's software/libraries. I get it's not 100% there today but I do have that experience today with quite a few things.

I had one project, removed 14 dependencies just by asking the AI, "what would it take to remove dependency X". If it gives me basically "not too much work" then I tell it to remove it. Another I say "no libraries" and a few minutes later I had a mini game running in a mini native game engine, no libraries.

Like many I've also asked for small programs for various things. Last week I needed an image that a 4 months ago I would have made in photoshop. I just asked the AI "make me an image generator that given X inputs generates Y style" and 5 minutes later I had the generator in a webpage. I made a couple of minor tweaks that were faster by hand than prompting and had the image I wanted.
