maybe a new language is due - like a revamp of applescript

I think George is right about vibe coding. It's great for rapid prototyping, but in my daily programming on a production codebase, PRs must be reviewable, so I have to understand what I'm changing even more so.

This just reflects the type of coding that George is doing. But the VAST majority of code written in the world is CRUD, Forms, Scripts, etc that AI aka "English" is a perfectly reasonable fit for. I mean, I use AI to write code hours a day and I don't think I'd let it drive my car for me.

Considering the need for LLM boilerplate coding as a language and tooling failure is an interesting observation. It begs the question why there is still such a thing as boilerplate. I mean I understand how programming languages work and why boilerplate is essential, but at the same time LLMs demonstrate that brevity is possible without loss of expressivity or legibility, albeit in a very roundabout and costly way. Perhaps there is a programming paradigm that strikes a balance between these opposites, especially if you're willing to spend more computational resources on it than traditional compilation (but with a complexity ceiling orders of magnitude lower than LLMs).
