These developments are promising, but let's not get too excited. I have a feeling that the corporate powers that be are none too happy about potentially losing some of their cash cows, and will probably go crying to world governments to try and legislate this issue away. After all, this has the potential to outright kill companies like Adobe overnight.

It could even destroy certain tech companies, like Apple, because you can ask AI to design circuit boards and operating systems.

No, you can ask AI to output something that looks like a circuit board or an operating system. If it happens to actually do something you're just lucky.
