Recently, this topic has become completely popular in the tech circle, and the core insight is actually just one sentence—content has turned into code.

Think about it, AI can now write code, modify code, and read code. Those massive content management systems built in the past to accommodate human operation habits? They are gradually becoming expensive burdens.

Why do I say that? Because GUI graphical interfaces are originally intermediaries. When AI can directly handle logic at the code level, the value of this intermediary is greatly diminished. In the past, CMS systems were very necessary—humans needed to click mouse buttons and drag controls to complete content operations. But now? AI can understand your needs and directly generate or modify underlying logic.

This not only changes the form of development toolchains but also redefines the way humans interact with code. Future tools will become lighter and more focused on the core. Those heavy abstraction layers will eventually either be simplified or phased out.

Now CMS is really about to be unemployed, GUI intermediary countdown AI directly hacking the code layer, it feels like a turning point has arrived The heavy abstraction layer should clear out the inventory So this wave of toolchain restructuring, is AI essentially treating humans as interfaces? Code and content merged, what about the work of designers? GUI isn't dead, humans still need to understand it Writing code in the future might be faster than using CMS, unbelievable This is probably why startups are starting to lay off people AI understanding requirements and directly outputting, traditional development is really dead Wait, doesn't that mean no-code platforms will also become obsolete? But this direction is a bit scary, humans are completely turning into input methods

Pure disruptive innovation, CMSs are doomed --- So, the GUI layer will eventually have to be stripped away; code is the true first-class citizen --- Wait, does this logic mean that Notion, Webflow, and others will also get hit --- After AI started writing code, it feels like we're one step closer to "everyone is a developer," but this step might also be the last one --- I kind of miss the days when UI was needed. Now that everything is direct, it's actually easier to go wrong --- I just want to know, what if no one uses UI when that time comes? Just rely on prompts? That's funny --- Content is indeed code, but once the middle layer is cut, the complexity of issues that arise skyrockets --- Low-code platforms should get ready; otherwise, they'll really just become transitional products

That was really harsh, is CMS about to be wiped out? The thing about AI direct translation code, it seems like the GUI interface stuff is really going to become obsolete. Oh my, does that mean the drag-and-drop visual editing I learned earlier was all in vain? I agree, the more abstraction layers piled up, the more sluggish it gets. This logic also applies to Web3; inefficient middlemen should be eliminated.

Honestly, the era of GUI really should step back; the move to directly modify the underlying layer with AI was long overdue. The good days for CMS are truly over—who still clicks with a mouse these days? I respect this logical chain; the more abstract layers, the more they hinder progress. Going straight to the code is the real way to go. But on the other hand, what about tech novices? It feels like they're raising the entry barrier. The shift to AI writing code has indeed changed the game, but who will support those non-technical users? Content is code—it's a bit extreme, but it also hints at a problem—are we becoming more and more elitist?
