If AI is writing software from now on, to any meaningful degree, React should be absolutely dead. The *only* benefit of React was that most human engineers already knew it. It's the worst choice in literally every other way. If humans aren't writing your code, your code shouldn't be in React.

Let me tell you *most* AI engineers already know React. Because there's so much React code out there AI is better at generating React than a lot of other frameworks. Also you're not accounting for eco-system, and dev tooling both of which were always the compelling reasons to adopt React.

It may have once been true that AI was "better" at React, but I don't think it is anymore. Ecosystem doesn't matter if AI is writing the code. And on dev tooling: if anything, other frameworks have always been ahead, not behind. (React *just* got a compiler, which other fws have had for ages!)

In all the years I've been using multiple frameworks, I've never heard of/seen a dev tooling gap between other frameworks and React—especially not in React's favor. If anything, others have always been able to move much faster in that regard. I wonder if maybe you haven't spent much time with them.
