If this was the case, the demand for architects would be different than what see today.

Not following. The demand for architects is gated by the cost of building. And the metaphor is that all if us who used to be carpenters can be architects, in the software sense. Maybe some people don’t want to be, but it is still a very thought-intensive profession.

The question is whether vibe coding requires a lot of thought, and I don't believe it does. The industry in in full blown idiocracy at the moment, and if you think you're a real engineer despite not understanding what you're building, you're a joke.
