Great write up. A few things caugyt my eye. You meantioned AI realtime checking code as it is written. IDEs do a pretty good job of that already. To do much better, it would have to know what you want to do. And that seems to be a barrier to how AI is developed today. It doesn't "understand" why.
Now QA is interesting. I wonder if anyone has built a model based entirely on clicks that can predict where a user is going to click. That would be very interesting. It would work really well for testing functionality that is already common on existing sites. Most webapps are made up of a large part of things already done... date chooser, question submitters, and such. Like how many apps out there are for scheduling an appointment. Tons. And so many apps (even mobile games) are just the same thing in a custom facade. In this case I don't think it would replace QA much as places writing that stuff don't test much. But it could speed up developers by reducing the number of customer reported issues in code they wrote months ago.
