If one compares software produced by AI with software developed by a "remote team", from the rest of the org's point of view it is the same. It has to go through a QA process and then made available in prod. The real issues start when obscure errors start to happen or there is an outage and suddenly no one knows how to fix it.

For this reason, for a long time to come, AI tools will be an assistant to dev teams who will still have responsibility for fixing issues when the brown stuff hits the fan. To shoulder that responsibility effectively, they will need to have a good understanding of the produced code.

So yes, vibe coding is here to stay but it will not replace software dev teams anytime soon. Dev teams might shrink initially because orgs will think they can save money. The trend will reverse quickly after a few major outages.
