When reading posts such as these, it occurs to me that AI is increasing the rate / lowering the bar for developers to make the jump to leader / architect.

Look at the lessons that the author has learned here:

* More specificity == better

* The importance of clear bulleted delivery items / criteria-for-success

* Unspecified details around a general goal is a ripe area for disappointment

All of these are things that a product owner / team leader learns in their first few projects (and so often must re-learn as the years go by).

AI is lowering barriers and promoting more developers to this role earlier. But everything that we learned about good Agile development in the past will still apply to the future.

This isn’t architect level planning. Even a junior developer should be able to work from vague requirements and build a mental like that.

Exactly. Companies relying on architects making all decisions and providing detailed specs are doomed. Architects in general often sucks. Empower any rank to create designs and make technological decisions. They will grow. If you can't trust them you have a problem.
