I feel like this aspect has been discussed on HN many times. The thing that resonates with me strongly is that there’s rarely a clear or fixed set of requirements to begin with - at least from my work experiences. Then, domain expertise helps with being able to proactively call out when they are missing and support in defining them. Still I am of the view that with enough context AI could also replace the best engineers with the best domain expertise.

Maybe, but that would require domain experts and stakeholders to write clear specs, and that's never gonna happen in my experience.

I am still bothered that domain experts still keep confusing closing orders with generating a delivery note, or stopping to say articles when they mean a product or a product when they mean an item.

Writing good specs require lots of domain knowledge but a very engineeristic approach these people just don't have.
