What veterans in the field know that AI hasn’t tackled is that the majority of difficulty in development is dealing with complexity and ambiguity and a lot of it has to do with communication between people in natural language as well as reasoning in natural language about your system. These things are not solved by AI as it is now. If you can fully specify what you want with all of the detail and corner cases and situation handling then at some point AI might be able to make all of that for you. Great! Unfortunately, that’s the actual hard part! Not the implementation generally.
