Prediction: one or more languages will emerge, optimised for LLMs to talk to each other.

We'll start seeing Tweets that humans don't understand.

Do you remember the OOP gang of four? Or how UML was going to replace programmers? When REST or Semantic Web was the new hotness? Or Unix systems full of security holes?
