Generative Pages and AI Model Apps

Soooo, Reza just published out this:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVjh8uaNCNI

If you haven't watched it, go ahead and then come back.  It's an overview of the upcoming "Generative Pages" feature that will use AI to build out actual pages within a Model app for you.  It literally builds out all the React code to create the web pages to alter the interactions within Model Apps for PowerApps.

That last sentence might start some of you already scratching your head, but this is a much deeper question of the future of this platform than just: do I now need to learn React?  No.  You don't.  At least not yet unless you're bored.

If you are a developer and are thinking about how powerful/efficient these tools will make you, then it is important to understand that this specific tech is intended to replace the need for you, not to make you more powerful. YMMV

Adoption of this path leads to a near-term impact most likely resulting in reduced employee salaries and paths for advancement for anyone currently utilizing the platform for non-Model applications, increased spend/opportunities for contractors and consultants using this approach.

NOTE: I will update this article probably several times as I learn more about this since this is all in pre-release right now. But I doubt my general perception of this will change.
