If we freeze AI models at their current stage of development, then yes. If not, given the rate at which models are improving (compare Claude today to Claude 1 year ago), in 3 to 5 years software development could be fully automated.

we dont' need to "freeze" models if next versions aren't a huge improvement over previous ones. That seems to be case now.

Are you sure that's how this works?
Let's see, my grandparents were about 160cm when they were 35. My parents were about 170cm when they were 35 and I am about 180cm around 35. You are saying I can expect my grandchildren to be around 200cm at that age and their grandchildren 220cm?

Well, if you automate everything, the bad parts will still be there, then you need real engineers to fix them
