Okay, so hear me out. With how powerful and sophisticated modern A.I. tools are becoming, what if someone created an AI tool that could take a program, or other type of software, and recompile it’s code to run on other operating systems or even other processor architectures? With a tool like this, the transition from windows to linux, or from X86 to say, RISC-V, would become quick and easy, because you could use the aforementioned AI to recompile all of your software to run on these new systems.
Neat idea, but may be a ways out.

Yeah, AI is not that powerful.
The AI hype on the other hand seems very powerful.

AI in its current form is unsuitable for any purpose other than separating gullible investors from their money

Automated object code conversion, virtualization and/or emulation is already a thing. Has been for decades. MacOS has been through 2 architecture transpositions with considerable success.
