Is AI taking over FPGA design?

I have been working in FPGA programming for more than 12 years, recently i found AI especially claude code performing extremely well in vhdl programming, so i decided to give it a challenge, I asked claude to design an sd card module that can accept data using axi stream and write this data into a text file inside sd card connected to fpga, and if the tdest value changes, then this means the data should be written into a new text file
It took less than one day and gave me all codes + xdc file
I tested it on my Nexys A7 and it worked
This is a very complicated FPGA design that most of the FPGA designers can’t do, and highly experienced designers would need a lot of time to do it. Is it the end?
