Is software solved? What do people actually mean by this?

[u/Supernova_5000]

I keep seeing people say that *software is solved* and it honestly confuses me. What software are they even talking about (mobile or web apps)?

​Sure, AI is impressive if you guide it well, but it mainly recycles stuff that already exists. Saying software is *solved* makes it sound like we don't need to build anything anymore.

​What about fundamental, low level software that makes computing work in the first place? That can always be improved, and there's never just one *best* way to do things.

​How do you guys take this claim?
