AI could be a big opportunity for the Gutenberg devs to avoid UX compromises, and focus more on the needs of designers and nocode developers instead.

Non technical people won’t touch UI design interfaces anymore.

If I were Matt I’d focus on leveraging AI to rewrite WP from scratch avoiding all the accumulated technical debt.

Without Gutenberg as the middle layer and directly on top of a modern and fast framework, with a nocode UI interface similar to Framer, something UI designers who would want to use.

If you really think about it you’ll come to a similar conclusion that AI comes for middle management and layers of abstractions build for humans. The experience gained with Gutenberg development could be leveraged to train a really good AI model.
